We report a clinical case of preoperative three-dimensional reconstruction combined with fluorescence imaging in simultaneous bilateral single-hole thoracoscopic treatment of pulmonary nodules. Fluorescent staining is widely used in clinics to show the interface between lung segments, and there are many reports in the literature. Indocyanine green (ICG), fluorescent staining method has the advantages of no need for repeated lung inflation and short time consumption. Moreover, the development of imaging three-dimensional reconstruction technology also provides convenience for accurate positioning of anatomical structures. Finally, we think that the application of preoperative three-dimensional reconstruction combined with fluorescence imaging for simultaneous double-lung single-hole thoracoscopic pneumonectomy can quickly and clearly display the interface between lung segments, provide technical support for the operation, shorten the operation time, reduce intraoperative bleeding, and have relatively high safety, and may shorten the learning curve for the growth of clinical thoracic surgeons, which may be worth popularizing and applying.
