Area of Science:

  • Pulmonology
  • Medical Imaging
  • Surgical Techniques

Background:

  • Pulmonary nodules require accurate preoperative localization for effective treatment.
  • Comparing microcoil and hookwire techniques is crucial for optimizing patient care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the efficacy and safety of microcoil versus hookwire localization for pulmonary nodules.
  • To determine the optimal preoperative localization method for tiny pulmonary nodules.

Main Methods:

  • A comparative study involving 307 patients with 324 pulmonary nodules.
  • Propensity score matching was used to analyze success and complication rates.
  • Data analyzed included baseline characteristics, procedure details, and outcomes.

Main Results:

  • The microcoil group had smaller nodule diameters and fewer solid nodules.
  • After propensity score matching, microcoil localization showed a higher success rate (97.2% vs. 94.4%).
  • The incidence of complications was lower in the microcoil group (15.5% vs. 31%).

Conclusions:

  • Both microcoil and hookwire are effective for localizing tiny pulmonary nodules.
  • Microcoil localization demonstrates superior clinical advantages and outcomes.
