Zusammenfassung: | Background
Increasing identification of small pulmonary nodules promotes sublobar resection, but localization and surgical margins of non‐palpable pulmonary nodules through sublobar resection are challenging. Our aim was explicate the feasibility of applying indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence to localized nodules, and to carry out surgical resection.
Methods
A total of 46 patients with subpleural pulmonary nodules |
