H-marker via bronchoscopy under LungPro navigation combined with cone-beam computed tomography for locating multiple pulmonary ground-glass nodules: A case report and literature review.

ABSTRACT:

Rationale

Pulmonary ground-glass nodules (GGNs) pose challenges in intraoperative localization due to their primarily nonsolid composition. This report highlights a novel approach using H-marker deployment guided by LungPro navigation combined with cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) for precise localization of multiple GGNs.

Patient concerns

A 55-year-old female patient presented at Sir-Run-Run-Shaw Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, in June 2021, requiring thoracoscopic surgery for the management of multiple GGNs in her right lung. She had a recent history of thoracoscopic wedge resection for a lesion in her lower left lung 3 months prior.

Diagnoses

Computed tomography scans revealed the presence of 3 mixed GGNs in the right lung, with further confir
