Segmentectomy under non-intubated anesthesia (NIA) has demonstrated comparable conventional clinical outcomes to segmentectomy performed under intubated general anesthesia (IGA). However, differences in early patient-reported outcomes (PROs) between the two anesthetic approaches remain unclear. This study aimed to evaluate symptom burden and functional status from the patient's perspective under different anesthesia modalities.although the NIA group had a longer operative time (P<0.001) but a shorter postoperative hospital stay (P<0.001).PROs are essential indicators of postoperative recovery after segmentectomy. Compared to intubated anesthesia, non-intubated anesthesia is associated with fewer severe early symptoms, lower functional burden, and shorter hospitalization following segmentectomy.
