Comparison of watershed analysis with indocyanine green fluorescence staining and modified inflation-deflation method in single-port thoracoscopic complex pulmonary segmentectomy.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The increasing utilization of computed tomography (CT) scans has significantly elevated the detection rate of pulmonary nodules. Pulmonary segmentectomy has become the preferred surgical technique for peripheral non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) measuring 2 cm or smaller. Various methods for identifying the intersegmental planes (ISPs) are currently employed. This study aims to compare the short-term clinical safety and efficacy of the watershed analysis with indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence staining to the modified inflation-deflation method in single-port thoracoscopic complex pulmonary segmentectomy.

Methods

This retrospective study was conducted on patients who underwent single-port thoracoscopic complex pulmonary segmentectomy at The First Affiliated Hos
