Fig 2 (A) Vital capacity (VC) and (B) forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) at 1 and 6 months after segmentectomy in the mesh cover group (open circle) and pleural suture group (closed circle). The y-axis shows recovery rate, expressed by measured postoperative value divided by predicted postoperative value multiplied by 100. Values are expressed as mean ± SD.
