Abstract:
Hybrid operating room Dyna-computed tomography imaging is increasingly recognized as an important adjunct for management of small pulmonary lesions, either for biopsy or for localization to guide surgical resection. We describe for the first time the combined hybrid operating room Dyna-computed tomography image-guided electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy dye marking and hookwire localization approach to localize multiple sub-centimetre nodules for video-assisted thoracic surgery metastasectomy. Furthermore, such complex set of procedures can be safely and effectively performed within one operating environment, maximizing work efficiency and minimizing the potential for complications.

Bronchoscopy
Description
Bronchoscopy is a procedure that involves direct visualization of the larynx, trachea, and bronchi for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. A flexible fiber optic or rigid bronchoscope is used to carry out the procedure. The fiber-optic bronchoscope is more frequently used due...
