    Summary

    For small lung lesions under 10mm, surgical resection via minithoracotomy is recommended. Multiple lesions may benefit from video-assisted thoracoscopic biopsy, while very small lesions require monitoring.

    Area of Science:

    • Thoracic Surgery
    • Pulmonology
    • Diagnostic Imaging

    Background:

    • Small-sized lung lesions present diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.
    • Optimal management strategies for small lung nodules are continually evolving.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the diagnostic and surgical treatment experience for 100 patients with small lung lesions.
    • To establish evidence-based recommendations for managing small lung nodules based on size and characteristics.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 100 patients with small lung lesions.
    • Evaluation of diagnostic methods and surgical interventions, including minithoracotomy and video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS).
    • Correlation of lesion size and characteristics with treatment outcomes.

    Main Results:

    • Lung resection via minithoracotomy is advised for lesions <10mm.
    • Video-assisted thoracoscopic biopsy is suitable for multiple focal lesions.
    • Solitary peripheral lesions >1cm warrant minithoracotomy with video assistance.
    • Solitary lesions <5mm require radiological surveillance with CT scans every 6 months.

    Conclusions:

    • Treatment decisions for small lung lesions should be guided by lesion size and multiplicity.
    • Minimally invasive surgical approaches are effective for selected small lung nodules.
    • Active surveillance is appropriate for very small, asymptomatic lung lesions.
