Abstract

Objectives: Video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) provides a minimally invasive means to resect pulmonary nodules (PN). Deep localization of PN may jeopardize VATS lung resection. The aim of this study was to establish the utility of preoperative computed tomography (CT)-guided hookwire localization of PN. Methods: Between January 1993 and September 2001, we performed 151 VATS resections for PN. Preoperative CT-guided hookwire localization was not performed in 98 patients (group I); it was done just before surgery in 53 patients (group II) when, at CT scan, the distance of PN from the lung surface was >15 and/or when the size was 15 mm from the pleural surface. Even when PN are subpleural but
