Endoscopic Studies I: Bronchoscopy and Thoracoscopy

1.1K
Endoscopy is a non-surgical medical technique used to examine a person's internal organs and vessels. This lesson will focus on two types of endoscopic studies: bronchoscopy and thoracoscopy.
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...

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation V: Advanced Airway Management Techniques

964
Airway management is essential in emergency and surgical medicine, ensuring ventilation and oxygenation in patients who cannot maintain their own airway. Clinicians use a range of techniques and devices to secure the airway, depending on the patient’s condition and the clinical context. Key methods include endotracheal intubation, rapid sequence intubation (RSI), supraglottic airway devices, and advanced visualization aids. In cases where these approaches fail, surgical airway...

Summary

Computed tomography (CT)-guided microcoil localization enables safe and effective video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) nodulectomy for peripheral pulmonary nodules, eliminating the need for intraoperative fluoroscopy.

Area of Science:

  • Thoracic Surgery
  • Pulmonary Medicine
  • Diagnostic Imaging

Background:

  • Direct visualization and palpation are challenging for small pulmonary nodules and ground-glass opacities.
  • Preoperative localization techniques enhance nodule detection rates during surgery.
  • Computed tomography (CT)-guided microcoil localization is a promising preoperative strategy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) nodulectomy.
  • To assess the utility of CT-guided microcoil localization without intraoperative fluoroscopy.
  • To determine the success rate of VATS resection following microcoil localization.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 147 patients (152 nodules) who underwent CT-guided microcoil localization and same-day VATS resection.
  • Analysis of technical success for percutaneous localization and surgical efficacy of VATS nodulectomy.
  • Descriptive statistics reported for patient demographics, nodule characteristics, and outcomes.

Main Results:

  • Successful resection of all 152 pulmonary nodules (mean size 13.5 mm).
  • High technical success rate (96%) for microcoil localization and surgical efficacy (98%) for VATS nodulectomy.
  • Pathologic examination confirmed 123 malignant and 24 benign nodules, including 85 primary lung cancers.

Conclusions:

  • CT-guided microcoil localization with pleural tagging is a safe and effective method for peripheral pulmonary nodules.
  • This technique obviates the need for intraoperative fluoroscopy during VATS nodulectomy.
  • Microcoil localization improves surgical outcomes for challenging lung nodules.
