Clock dial integrated positioning combined with single utility port video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery: a new localization method for lung tumors.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Preoperative localization of lung tumor mainly consisted of two methods: CT-guided percutaneous localization and electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy-guided localization. However, these invasive methods could result in serious complications. In order to avoid the adverse effects of preoperative invasive localization, we propose a method of intraoperative noninvasive localization for lung tumors: clock dial integrated positioning (CDIP).

Methods

To retrospectively analyze the clinic data about the application of CDIP for 127 lung tumour patients in single utility port video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (SUPVATS) between June 2017 and October 2017.

Results

One hundred and twenty-four cases (97.64%) underwent thoracoscopic surgery, which including 14 lobe
