Abstract:
Objective The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of preoperative CT-guided hardening agent localization.Methods From December 2010 to January 2012,27 patients with 29 solitary pulmonary nodules who had undergone CT-guided hardening agent localization and video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) were studied.Results All cases were underwent CT-guided hardening agent localization successfully,and no patient had serious complication that required any intervention.The diameter of nodules ranged from 3 to 21 mm as measured by CT[mean (11.27 ± 6.32) mm].The distance between the center of nodule and visceral pleural ranged from 4 to 38 mm[mean (14.45 ± 4.32) mm].Conversion from VATS to thoracotomies was not necessary during the diagnostic resection procedure nodules.29 solitary pulmonary nodules underwent thoracoscopic wedge resection,and no intra-or postoperative mortality or morbidity was recorded.Conclusion CT-guided hardening agent localization before video-assisted thoracoscopic solitary pulmonary nodule resection is a safe and effective procedure for accurate diagnosis and resection of indeterminate solitary pulmonary nodules.
