Surgical field visualization and feasibility of accessory lung lobectomy using a pretied ligature loop via single incision thoracoscopy in canine cadavers
A single-incision subxiphoid thoracoscopic approach combined with low-pressure CO<sub>2</sub> insufflation significantly improves visualization and instrument maneuverability in small-breed canine cadavers. This method also enables complete lung lobe exploration and allows safe and effective accessory lung lobectomy using a pretied ligature loop.
