Group B showed a trend toward lower incidence of prolonged air leakage (>5 days) compared to Group A (5.56% vs. 15.28%, P=0.056), which demonstrated a tendency for benefit, suggesting that RATS combined with three-dimensional reconstruction technology may facilitate precise intraoperative navigation and meticulous dissection, thereby helping to reduce the risk of prolonged postoperative air leaks.
