Occult Node Detection With Lobectomy Versus Segmentectomy for Stage IA NSCLC
Segmentectomy was associated with less LN sampling, which translated into lower detection of occult nodal metastasis in N1 LNs. Although standardized pathologic dissection could potentially improve detection, there is likely an inevitable inferiority in LN sampling with segmentectomy.
