Implication

This review analyzes localization methods for small nodules in minimally invasive lung surgery, highlighting clinical implications.

Key Points

  • The aim is to evaluate and compare different localization techniques for small pulmonary nodules prior to sublobar resection.
  • Review of multiple localization strategies for small pulmonary nodules including percutaneous and bronchoscopic techniques.
  • Assessment of operational burden, precision metrics, and complication profiles among localization methods.
  • Presentation of an expert-consensus decision algorithm for selecting localization strategies.
  • Detailed analysis of localization techniques shows varied precision metrics and complication rates.
  • Single-stage workflows were found to reduce overall operative time compared to two-stage workflows.
  • Real-time depth information using radiofrequency identification systems offered enhanced localization accuracy.
