    The study enrolled 144 patients with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer for a randomized trial comparing 2D CT and 3D reconstruction.

  • 2

    Patients in the 3D reconstruction group had a significantly shorter key-phase operative time compared to the 2D CT group.

  • 3

    The 3D group experienced fewer unexpected intraoperative events and had a higher likelihood of achieving adequate surgical margins.

  • 4

    Surgeons reported better preoperative anatomical visualization and greater intraoperative confidence when using 3D reconstruction.

  • 5

    Total operative time and postoperative complications did not significantly differ between the 2D and 3D groups.
