All things are created twice, but the surgeon only gets one chance: bronchoscopy marking may help the surgeon to perform sublobar resection

We would like to thank Professor Sato for his interest and positive comments regarding our work. In an era of minimally invasive thoracic surgery [video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) or robotic-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (RATS)], minimally invasive sublobar resection (SLR) represents a serious challenge especially for small peripheral nodules (SPNs) or ground glass opacities (GGOs).
