Objectives

Narrative objectives1

This study prospectively evaluates the feasibility, operability, and safety of using the i-Lung 3D simulator for VATS during intraoperative surgery. It will verify the "ability to complete the operation" and the "contribution to the surgeon's anatomical understanding" when operating the system using a game controller within the sterile field during surgery. The evaluation will be conducted through questionnaires administered to surgeons and assistants who participated in the surgery and operated i-Lung.

Interventions/Control_1

During surgery, images from i-Lung are displayed on the operating room monitor, and the surgeon manipulates the model using a control device fitted with a sterile cover.

The i-Lung used in this study is an unapproved medical device that has not obtained manufacturing and marketing approval under the Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Act. This system is used for the purpose of presenting clinical support information during surgery; the final decisions regarding surgical procedure selection, vascular and bronchial treatment, etc., will be made by the surgeon based on conventional surgical field findings and existing image information.

Furthermore, if it is determined that the use of this system may affect the progress of the surgery, its use will be immediately discontinued and the normal surgical procedure will be continued.
