Abstract Objectives: Video assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) can currently be used to diagnose and treat pulmonary nodules. However, intraoperative location of pulmonary nodules in VATS is challenging due to their small diameter and deep location in the pulmonary parenchyma. The purpose of this study was to report the clinical safety and effectiveness of CT-guided hook-wire for preoperative localization of malignant pulmonary nodules smaller than 1 cm in diameter.Methods: From February 2017 to January 2018, we collected the data of 80 patients with malignant pulmonary nodules less than 1 cm in diameter who underwent CT-guided hook-wire preoperative localization and VATS surgery. The effectiveness of preoperative localization was evaluated based on surgical duration, success rate of VATS surgery, and localization-related complications.Results: The diameter of pulmonary nodules were 0.85 ± 0.17 mm with a distance to the pleural surface of 19.66 ± 14.10 mm. The length of the hook-wire in the lung parenchyma was 29.17 ± 13.14 mm and hook-wire dislodgement occurred in 2 patients. Complications included 27 cases of minor pneumothorax and 18 cases of mild parenchymal hemorrhage. A significant correlation was observed between the length of the hook-wire in the lung parenchyma and mild parenchymal hemorrhage (P = 0.044). The average time of hook-wire localization was 9.0 ± 2.6 min and the average operation time for VATS was 89.02 ± 23.35 min without conversion thoracotomy.Conclusions: CT-guided hook-wire localization of the lesion during VATS resection is safe for malignant pulmonary nodules with diameter less than 1 cm.

Purpose: To retrospectively analyze the incidence and predictors of complications related to hookwire localization in patients with single and multiple nodules, and to evaluate the usefulness of a single-stage surgical method of single hookwire localization combined with video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) in synchronous multiple pulmonary nodules (SMPNs). Methods: A total of 200 patients who underwent computed tomography (CT)-guided hookwire localization and subsequent VATS resection were enrolled in this study. For each patient, only 1 indeterminate nodule was implanted with a hookwire. There were 145 patients in the single-nodule group (Group S) and 55 in the multiple-nodule group (Group M). Univariate and binary logistic regression analyses were used to assess incidence and predictors of complications associated with hookwire localization. Results: The technical success rate of hookwire implantation was 97.5%. The incidence of pneumothorax and hookwire dislodgement was 17.0% and 2.5%, respectively. Binary logistic regression analysis showed that 1 transpleural puncture through the pleura (odds ratio [OR] = 0.433, P = .033) was the only independent protective factor for pneumothorax, and pneumothorax (OR = 26.114, P < .01) was the only independent risk factor for dislodgement. The volume of blood loss during VATS was significantly higher in group M than in group S, and the time of postoperative hospitalization was significantly longer in group M than in group S. About 44 patients in group M with additional 58 nodules without localization had undergone direct surgical resection simultaneously, and bilateral surgery was performed in 13 patients (29.5%). The intrathoracic recurrence rate was 4.8% during follow-up CT. Conclusion: Single-stage surgery via an approach of single hookwire localization combined with VATS is feasible and safe for SMPNs.

Background: An ideal preoperative localization method is essential for the resection of small and deep-seated pulmonary nodules by video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) in the era of low-dose computed tomography (CT) screening. This study describes a new localization method using electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy (ENB) and compares it against conventional percutaneous CT-guided methods. Methods: Between January 2016 and May 2018, 18 consecutive patients with a total of 27 pulmonary nodules underwent ENB localization using patent blue vital dye before thoracoscopy for lung resection at the National Taiwan University Hospital. Over the same period, 268 patients had a total of 325 pulmonary nodules localized by a CT-guided method. Propensity analysis was applied to minimize bias during comparison. Results: Patients were selected using a propensity-score based process, matched for potential risk factors for localization failure, to ensure equal potential prognostic factors in both groups. After matching, the ENB group had 15 patients with a total of 24 pulmonary nodules, and the CT group had 30 patients with 48 pulmonary nodules. No major procedure-related complications occurred in either group. The target pulmonary nodule was not successfully localized for one patient in the ENB group and three in the CT group. The lesions were fully excised after conversion to mini-thoracotomy. Pathological examination confirmed the accuracy of the dye staining. Analysis found a non-significant difference in the success rate of these two localization methods. However, the following parameters were significantly different: interval between localization to surgery, global time, and rate of pneumothorax (p <0.05). Conclusions: In the era of minimally invasive surgery, surgeons need an efficient one-step way to manage pulmonary nodules. Patent blue vital injection with ENB guidance in the operating room is a new, effective approach to localize small, deep-seated and non-palpable pulmonary lesions, comparable with CT-guided localization.
