Choose a side
Explore separate left and right hemithoraces, with their own lobar and bronchovascular references.
Know the anatomy.
Explore the approach.
An interactive space to review left and right thoracic anatomy before discussing a lobectomy. Created by Carlos Déniz Armengol.
Educational pilot for professional feedback. Requires a modern browser with WebGL. Controls, anatomical explanations and help are available in English and Spanish.
Review a lobe
Choose a lobectomy, expose the pedicle and hide branches individually. Undo changes or restore the anatomy.
Explore the field
Compare anterior, posterior and inferior viewpoints. Adjust light, labels and illustrative retraction.
A useful review starts with a question
Which branches belong to this lobe? What becomes visible from below? How does the selected exposure change the view? Use the model alongside supervision, anatomical references and operative discussion.
First session: three steps
- Choose the left or right hemithorax and a lobectomy.
- Expose the pedicle, then explore individual branches.
- Use Field only for an unobstructed view. Restore all to return to the full anatomy.
Drag to orient the camera; use the wheel to advance. Optical zoom and retraction have separate controls.
Scientific scope and provenance
This is a schematic teaching model, not a patient-specific reconstruction, validated surgical simulator or assessment of operative competence. Retraction is illustrative. Hidden branches do not represent physically simulated division or haemostasis.
Geometry includes adapted public TotalSegmentator references, licensed CC BY 4.0, and elements inherited from the original prototype. The detailed rights provenance of some inherited meshes and the serosal texture is still under review. The product is not presented as exclusively owned in all its components.

Anatomía para preparar el repaso quirúrgico
Elige un hemitórax, descubre el pedículo de un lóbulo y explora sus ramas. Compara abordajes, ajusta la luz y retira las etiquetas cuando necesites despejar la imagen.
Es un piloto docente esquemático, pendiente de evaluación externa. No sustituye la supervisión, los atlas ni la revisión de la TC del paciente. El planificador de TC es un desarrollo independiente y no está disponible en esta web.
