Summary

This study tested two methods to help surgeons see the border between lung segments during surgery for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer. One method uses a special dye called indocyanine green, and the other uses a modified inflation-deflation technique. The goal was to see which method works better and faster, with 272 patients taking part across multiple hospitals.
