“…33 The similar Japanese study also showed no difference in all control endpoints and no difference in toxicity in those patients who were clinically diagnosed. 34 The local control in our study is 97.1%, although followup admittedly is short. The local control in our population is comparable to cooperative studies including the lung cancer study group report on lobectomy and RTOG 0236 on SBRT.…”

“…It is not possible to accurately determine the position of some superficial tiny pulmonary nodules (with a diameter less than 5 mm), which leads to conversion to thoracotomy and missed diagnoses (Calcagni et al, 2012). To solve the problem, many methods of preoperative or intraoperative positioning are used clinically, e.g., hook-wire positioning, methylene blue staining, fluoroscopy assisted positioning, and the use of microscopic tactile sensors, intraoperative CT, finger palpation, intraoperative ultrasound, radio guidance and agar marking (Cao et al, 2012;Takeda et al, 2012).…”

ABSTRACT.This study aimed to analyze the clinical application value of computed tomography (CT)-guided hook-wire positioning before thoracoscopic surgery. Eighty-four patients who had received a thoracoscopic wedge resection of pulmonary nodules between January and December 2013 were selected. Group A consisted of 38 cases where the hook-wire positioning technique was not used, and the positioning approaches were intraoperative observation and palpation. Group B consisted of 46 cases where the hook-wire positioning technique was used. The diameter of each nodule was less than 2 cm, and all patients underwent the operation within 2 h of invasive positioning. The evaluation indexes included positioning success rate, positioningrelated complications, and rate of conversion to thoracotomy. In Group A, nine patients (23.68%) underwent conversion to thoracotomy; in Group B, three patients (6.52%) did. This difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The average operation duration was 118 ± 21 min in Group A and 53 ± 18 min in Group B. The difference between both groups was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The average length 3799 Positioning of pulmonary nodules ©FUNPEC-RP www.funpecrp.com.br Genetics and Molecular Research 14 (2): 3798-3806 (2015) of hospital stay of patients who underwent conversion to thoracotomy was 8.7 ± 2.2 days, and of patients who underwent thoracoscopic pulmonary wedge resection was 4.5 ± 1.6 days. This difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Therefore, CT-guided hook-wire positioning of pulmonary nodules before thoracoscopic surgery has clinical application value. It helps to accurately locate the pulmonary nodules, effectively lowers the rate of conversion to thoracotomy, and reduces the operation duration.
