Retrospective study on preoperative hook wire localisation of pulmonary ground-glass nodules: risk factors for complications and preventive strategies.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Adjusting the angle of the trajectory needle may help reduce the occurrence of complications associated with preoperative hook and thread localisation. This study aims to examine the risk factors for complications associated with preoperative hook wire localisation of pulmonary ground-glass nodules (GGNs).

Methods

In this single-centre retrospective study, an analysis was conducted on 230 preoperative hook wire implantations for 230 pulmonary GGNs. We assessed the angle of needle trajectory by analysing the computed tomography (CT) images at the point of needle insertion. We evaluated the main variables related to patient demographics, lesion size and location and preoperative conditions to determine the risk factors for complications. Univariate and multivariate
