Abstract
Thoracoscopic esophageal surgery is a complex procedure requiring simultaneous dissection of the esophagus and lymph nodes while maintaining the surrounding vessels. Because of the difficulty in obtaining comprehensive views of the operative field, three-dimensional (3-D) images with preoperative information on the vascular system, esophagus, trachea, lungs, lymph nodes, skin, and bones would be extremely helpful in performing the surgery.Entities:
