Background  Compared to the pulmonary lobe, the anatomical structure of the pulmonary segment is relatively complex and prone to variation, thus the risk and difficulty of segmentectomy is increased. We compared three‐dimensional computed tomography bronchography and angiography (3D‐CTBA) combined with 3D video‐assisted thoracic surgery (3D‐VATS) to perform segmentectomy to conventional two‐dimensional (2D)‐VATS for the treatment of non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).    Methods  We retrospectively reviewed the data of randomly selected patients who underwent 3D‐CTBA combined with 3D‐VATS (3D‐CTBA‐VATS) or 2D‐VATS at the Department of Thoracic Surgery, The First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University Hospital, from January 2014 to May 2017.    Results  The operative duration of 3D group was significantly shorter than the 2D group ( P  < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the number of dissected lymph nodes between the two groups ( P  > 0.05). The extent of intraoperative bleeding and postoperative drainage in the 3D group was significantly lower than in the 2D group ( P  < 0.05). Chest tube duration in the 3D group was shorter than in the 2D group ( P  < 0.05). Incidences of pulmonary infection, atelectasis, and arrhythmia were not statistically different between the two groups ( P  > 0.05). However, hemoptysis and pulmonary air leakage (>3d) occurred significantly less frequently in the 3D than in the 2D group ( P  < 0.05).    Conclusion  3D‐CTBA‐VATS is a more accurate and smooth technique and leads to reduced intraoperative and postoperative complications.
