Remedial localization after dislodgement of primary mechanical localization in lung surgery

Abstract: Background: Unhooking or displacement of hookwire or microcoil due to technical failures is rather common. We aim to establish a new technique for remedial localization in the case of displacement or unhooking of primary mechanical localization during lung surgery. Methods: From February 2014 to September 2015, 18 consecutive cases of intraoperative dislodgement during video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) were enrolled. Nodule's projection on body surface was located by analyzing computed tomography (CT… Show more

“…Two types of localisations can be tried simultaneously. 29 Though multiple percutaneous puncture produced a signi cantly higher incidence of pneumothorax and hemorrhage,the localizations were clinically feasible and safe. 30,31 Lung nodules can be localised during surgery after every effort is exerted before operation.…”

“…CT-guided preoperative localization is widely performed in clinical practice because of its technical maturity, simple operating procedure, short time-cost, and high success rate. However, its application has limitations and risks, including severe pain, hemorrhage, hemopneumothorax, needle track tumor implantation (6), and markers displacement (7). Besides, some localizations are challenging due to anatomical issues like those next to the great vessels or beneath the scapula and sternum.…”

“…However, previous studies reveal the challenges encountered by the surgeon in performing VATS, including difficulty in locating pulmonary nodules quickly and accurately during surgery, especially for ground-glass nodules with small size, deep location, and few solid components [ 9 ]. Studies have shown that it is difficult to locate more than half of the nodules accurately in VATS; thus, thoracotomy is needed [ 10 ].…”
