Data are expressed as mean±sd or mean (range). Variation data are relative to the initial values. VATS: video-assisted thoracic surgery; FEV1: forced expiratory volume in 1 s; DLCO: diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide; FVC: forced vital capacity; Open: thoracotomy; Both: VATS and thoracotomy; NA: not available. #: calculated from data or extracted from figures; ¶: absolute values in L given where no % pred values available; +: compared resections <2 segments (<2 seg), ≥2 segments (≥2 seg), and of the left upper division (LUD).
