Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. The introduction of targeted treatments and immunotherapy in lung cancer has transformed patient care by offering “precision medicine” focused on the characteristics of the disease. The same concept has emerged in lung cancer surgery. This “precision surgery” aims to determine the best surgical approach based on the characteristics of the cancer, the patient’s cardiorespiratory status, and technological advances in thoracic surgery. While lobectomy continues to be the gold standard for managing early-stage lung cancer, the implementation of screening programs has enabled the earlier detection of smaller tumors. In this context, sublobar resections, particularly segmentectomy, have emerged as valuable options in the treatment of early-stage lung cancer. Recent studies suggest that sublobar resections, including segmentectomy and wedge resection, provide a viable alternative to lobectomy. This review explores the various resection strategies available, tailored to patient and tumor characteristics, and highlights modern preoperative techniques aimed at advancing precision surgery.
