Abstract:
How to accurately locate pulmonary nodules in thoracic surgery is a key challenge in surgery. "Chinese expert consensus on preoperative assisted positioning technology of small pulmonary nodules (2025 edition)" (hereafter referred to as the consensus) is an update version incorporating the latest evidence and clinical practice based on the 2019 edition, aiming to provide reference for clinical practice. The consensus summarizes commonly used preoperative assisted positioning technologies, such as percutaneous lung puncture positioning (Hookwire positioning needles, metal spring coils, etc.), transbronchial puncture positioning (electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopes, etc.), and virtual reality and 3D printing positioning, and introduces the application indications, operating specifications and potential complications of different positioning technologies, analyzes the existing technical advantages and shortcomings, and emphasizes the selection of the most appropriate positioning method according to the specific situation of the patient, so as to improve the success rate and safety of the surgery, and promotes the minimally invasive and precise development of thoracic surgery.
