I started using CT 3D recons in preop planning, but also found it can be a great tool to look at basic anatomy. Muscles of the thoracic wall can be tricky to visualize. These pics show important anatomy for a muscle sparing (or splitting) thoracotomy. Important landmarks are the auscultatory triangle (latissimus, trapezius, and scapula), the serratus anterior, and the paraspinal muscles. Using software , I'm able to cut away the latissimus to fully view the serratus along with it insertions.

Would you like to take a glimpse of how robotic surgery looks like for a surgeon? 3D magnified vision, fine motor control, minimally invasive. These are only some of the advantages that robotic surgery offer. This video is one of the simulations you can run on the robotic console. I gotta say that each generation improves so much on the last!

I am always amazed looking at the American Cancer Society Total New Cancer Cases and Deaths, and how lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in BOTH men and women. (Yet other cancer awareness often takes the forefront!)
