Video-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 کاملPercutaneous localization of pulmonary nodules prior to thoracoscopic surgery by CT-guided hook-wire.
BACKGROUND When performing thoracoscopic surgery in patients with small pulmonary nodules, intraoperative localization can be difficult and time-consuming. The percutaneous localization of suspicious intrapulmonary lesions was evaluated pre-operatively to facilitate the resection of the lesion and to avoid thoracotomy. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thoracoscopies were performed in 13 patients with in...
متن کاملVideo-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery after Preoperative CT-Guided Lipiodol Marking of Small or Impalpable Pulmonary Nodules.
PURPOSE Small pulmonary lesions that include ground-glass attenuation have been increasingly discovered because of progressive imaging diagnostic technologies. Despite the detection of such small lesions, sometimes it is quite difficult to localize them because of their size or considerable depth from the visceral pleura. In the present study, we examined the usefulness of computed tomography-g...
متن کاملCT-guided Hookwire localization before video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery for solitary ground-glass opacity dominant pulmonary nodules: radiologic-pathologic analysis
The optimal screening or treatment strategies of solitary pulmonary nodules especially ground-glass opacities (GGOs) remain controversial. With CT-guided Hookwire localization, it is accurate to find the small lesions during video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). In this study, we evaluate the efficiency and safety of CT-guided Hookwire localization of GGO-dominant (GGO component > 50%) p...
متن کاملLocalization of peripheral pulmonary nodules for thoracoscopic excision: value of CT-guided wire placement.
OBJECTIVE One of the indications for the rapidly expanding use of thoracoscopic surgery as an alternative to thoracotomy is the excision of peripheral lung nodules. Nodules judged too small or too far from the pleural surface to be seen or palpated during thoracoscopy must be localized beforehand. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of percutaneous placem...
