“…The rate of VATS metastasectomy in our practice has increased significantly during the study periods (5.3% vs. 64.9%), which is in line with Hungarian national statistics, according to which in 2008, 15 out of 200 metastasectomies (7.5%) were performed with VATS [27], and in 2013, 107 out of 316 operations (33.9%) were performed with VATS [4]. With advances in diagnostic and localisation techniques, the removal of small lesions by VATS has been possible [28], with results consistent with those of open surgery [29]. Several techniques such as wire or isotope marking [28], dye marking with methylene blue, electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy (ENB), intraoperative ultrasound [30] can be used to mark intrapulmonary lesions that are not palpable or small.…”
