Abstract
We present a case of robot-assisted complex anatomical segmentectomy utilizing Resection Process Map (RPM) software. RPM enables the confirmation of internal structures obscured by lung parenchyma, thereby reducing the risk of injury or misidentification to essential structures. It facilitates an accurate understanding of anatomy beyond processed vessels, fostering collaboration among the surgical team and informed discussions. Preventing complications stemming from misidentification of bronchovascular structures is vital in complex segmentectomies. Robot-assisted complex segmentectomies can achieve precise anatomical resections through RPM's integration of real-time observations and virtual images. We are committed to further advancing this technology soon.
