Comparison of laser-guided technology and conventional manual percutaneous lung biopsy: a single-center retrospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Percutaneous lung biopsy (PLB) is currently widely utilized in the diagnosis and treatment of lung tumors, owing to its advantages of minimal trauma, high detection rate, and precise localization. However, traditional computed tomography (CT)-guided freehand PLB procedures often involve multiple puncture adjustments and a relatively high incidence of complications. The aim of this study is to investigate whether laser-guided technology can effectively reduce the operative time and incidence of complications.

Methods

This study included 141 patients who underwent CT-guided PLB at the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University between January 2022 and January 2024. These patients were divided into two groups based on the use of laser-guided technology during th
