The lack of anatomic landmarks between segments on the lung surface makes the identification of intersegmental planes one of the greatest challenges in anatomic segmentectomy. Therefore, with the aim to determine the landmarks of intersegmental planes on the lung surface, we used three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction and morphological measurement techniques to reconstruct stereoscopic models of all pulmonary segments, and measured the length of each segment on the lung surface along the lobe's anatomic landmark lines.
