Application of computed tomography-guided hook-wire localization technique in thoracoscopic surgery for small pulmonary nodules (≤ 10 mm).

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This study aimed to investigate the safety and efficacy of the computed tomography (CT)-guided hook-wire localization technique in thoracoscopic surgery for small pulmonary nodules (≤ 10 mm) and to identify the risk factors for localization-related complications.

Methods

The medical records of 150 patients with small pulmonary nodules treated from January 2018 to June 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. According to preoperative hook-wire positioning status, they were divided into the localization group (50 cases) or the control group (100 cases). The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, hospital stay, and conversion rate to thoracotomy were recorded and compared between groups. Uni- and multivariate binary logistic regression analysis was used to identify th
