Abstract
AbstractIn recent years, with the widespread use of chest CT, the detection rate of pulmonary nodules has significantly increased (Abtin and Brown, J Clin Oncol 31:1002-8, 2013). Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) is the most commonly used method for suspected malignant nodules. However, for nodules with a diameter less than 1 cm, or located more than 1.5 cm from the pleural edge, especially ground-glass nodules, it is challenging to achieve precise intraoperative localization by manual palpation (Ciriaco et al., Eur J Cardiothorac Surg 25:429-33, 2004). Therefore, preoperative accurate localization of such nodules becomes a necessary condition for precise resection. This article provides a comprehensive review and analysis of the research progress in pulmonary nodule localization, focusing on four major localization techniques: Percutaneous puncture-assisted localization, Bronchoscopic preoperative pulmonary nodule localization, 3D Printing-Assisted Localization, and intraoperative ultrasound-guided pulmonary nodule localization.
