Evaluation of Radiofrequency Identification for Accurate Wedge Resection of Small Lung Lesions With Reference to Dye Marking.

Key Points

This evaluation aims to assess the effectiveness of RFID marking in accurately resecting small lung lesions compared to traditional methods.
Conducted a retrospective analysis of wedge resections using RFID marking.
Compared outcomes to historical data using ICG-VAL-MAP technique.
Assessed rates of successful resection, complication reduction, and palpation requirements.
RFID marking achieved 100% successful resection for small and deep lung lesions.
Significant reduction in palpation needs and complications with an adjusted odds ratio of 0.33.
Outperformed the historical reference of 95% success rate with ICG-VAL-MAP.

Abstract

RFID marking achieved 100% successful resection for small/deep lesions and reduced palpation needs and complications (adjusted OR 0.33), outperforming the ICG-VAL-MAP historical reference (95%). However, the retrospective design, selection bias, and limited power warrant cautious, exploratory interpretation, and prospective validation is needed.
