Summary
This study tested a special camera system that uses near-infrared light to help surgeons see blood flow during minimally invasive lung and esophagus surgery. 38 adults took part at Massachusetts General Hospital. The goal was to see if the camera could clearly show tissue blood supply and lung segment boundaries, which may help surgeons make better decisions during the operation.
