Abstract: Our study suggested that ultrasonography during VATS is useful for the detection of peripheral pulmonary nodules, even when they are not identified on video images or palpation, and may enable a differential diagnosis between malignant and non-malignant lesions.

“…Also, there is a learning curve associated with use of the ultrasound equipment, with some studies reporting the presence of a radiologist in the operating room (38,43,44). Suggestion has been made that nodules can be diagnosed based on their ultrasonographic characteristics, but more work must be done in this area (41,45).…”

“…Lipiodol injection can also distort frozen section histological specimens, with a possibility for systemic or pulmonary embolization (20). Intraoperative ultrasonography can localize lung nodules even if ground glass opacity (GGO) is present; however, its limitation is that residual air, operators' experience, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease can make localization difficult (21,22). Despite all the progress of localizing methods, big challenges remain under certain circumstances.…”

“…Radio-guided detection was also favored for its high sensitivity (13,14), whereas the need of special instruments and radiationrelated hazards limit its adoption by many institutions and centers. As for intraoperative ultrasound detection, it has been reported to be efficient and non-invasive, but operator-dependence and disappointing performance in emphysema lung parenchyma undermine its popularity in clinical practice (15,16).…”
