3D localization based on anatomical LANDmarks in the treatment of pulmonary nodules.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Various methods exist for locating lung nodules, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. Aiming to find a more accurate, safe, effective, economical and practical method for locating lung nodules, this study evaluated the safety and feasibility of a precise three-dimensional (3D) method for positioning small pulmonary nodules based on anatomical landmarks.

Methods

From June 2019 to December 2021, 120 patients with 131 pulmonary nodules who underwent video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery at the University of Hong Kong-Shenzhen Hospital were included in the study. Surgical data such as the positioning time, accuracy rate, pathological result, localization-related complication rate and length of postoperative hospital stay were retrospectively reviewed and ana
