However, the research on reducing postoperative cough by improving surgical operation is rare. The purpose of this prospective study was to investigate whether preoperative three-dimensional reconstruction and intraoperative protection of bronchial artery can reduce the severity of cough after thoracoscopic lobectomy, so as to further explore the effective intervention measures of postoperative cough and enrich the concept of accelerated rehabilitation surgery.
