The additional use of NBI during TOLS significantly decreased the number of positive resection margins. Although not statistically significant at all time points, patients treated with NBI-supported TOLS showed a lower recurrence rate and better recurrence-free survival. Further studies in larger patient groups are needed to confirm these results.
