Three-dimensional (3D) visualization technology can well characterize lung nodules, accurately locate lung nodules, accurately identify lung anatomical structures, shorten operation time, reduce intraoperative and postoperative complications, and make thoracoscopic precise lung resection safer and more efficient. However, the mastery of 3D reconstruction technology in some hospitals still needs to be improved. Due to the time and economic cost of 3D printing, the development of this technology is restricted. With the application and improvement of 3D visualization technology in more centers in the future, the development of precise lung resection will be more extensive. This article reviewed the progress on 3D visualization technology in thoracoscopic precise lung resection.
