| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Visualization of the lung intersegmental plane is an important technique during lung segmentectomy. We tried to visualize intersegmental planes with an infrared thermography on experimental pigs. After ligation of segmental pulmonary arteries and veins, intersegmental planes were visualized sharply on thermography. And we confirmed same results only after ligation of segmental pulmonary artery. Intersegmental planes detected by our method were perfectly matched with inflation-deflation lines. The thermography method is completely noninvasive. All we have to do is only monitoring of the lung surface with an infrared thermography. We consider that the thermography method can help thoracic surgeons who perform lung segmentectomy to identify the intersegmental plane simply and precisely.
