Ultrasonographic evaluation of small nodules in the peripheral lung during video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS).
OBJECTIVE We examined the possibility of intraoperative ultrasonography during video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) to localize and make a qualitative diagnosis of small peripheral pulmonary nodules. METHODS Ultrasonography during VATS and conventional thoractomy was performed on 25 and 18 nodules, respectively, all which were localized in the peripheral lung, were less than 30 mm in diamet...
متن کاملVideo Assisted Thoracic Surgery for Indeterminate Pulmonary Nodules
The approach to patients with indeterminate pulmonary nodules is poorly defined. Should every pulmonary nodule be biopsied, is needle biopsy adequate, and other questions are challenges. Video assisted thoracic surgery or thoracoscopy has added a new diagnostic possibility which is evaluated in this paper. Fifty-five patients underwent thoracoscopy for diagnosis of a solitary pulmonary nodule. ...
متن کاملEarly effective treatment of small pulmonary nodules with video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery combined with CT-guided dual-barbed hookwire localization
PURPOSE To assess the feasibility of computed tomography (CT)-guided localization using a specific long dual-barbed hookwire in resection of pulmonary nodules with the size of 20mm or less by video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) and to discuss the necessity of early treatment of small pulmonary nodules by VATS. RESULTS All the nodules were successfully localized with hook wire under CT...
متن کاملVideo-assisted thoracoscopic surgery for pulmonary nodules: rationale for preoperative computed tomography-guided hookwire localization.
OBJECTIVES Video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) provides a minimally invasive means to resect pulmonary nodules (PN). Deep localization of PN may jeopardize VATS lung resection. The aim of this study was to establish the utility of preoperative computed tomography (CT)-guided hookwire localization of PN. METHODS Between January 1993 and September 2001, we performed 151 VATS resections for P...
متن کاملComputed tomography-guided localization of small lung nodules before video-assisted resection: experience with an efficient hook-wire system.
The rate of successful video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) for resection of pulmonary nodules has improved since the development of radiologic localization techniques. The failure rate has decreased from 45% to 5%.1 Several techniques have been described, including methylene blue injection, hook-wire localization, and combined techniques, but none has proved entirely satisfactory.2-5 We...
