How I Do It-Intra-Operative Needle Puncture Marking for Wedge Resection of Deep Posterobasal Lung Nodules

This paper describes a novel simple method using intraoperative needle puncture marking on the lung surface to facilitate precise wedge resection of the unpalpable small lung cancers located deep in the posterolateral basal segments. This novel method is feasible and can be easily mastered and utilized for wedge resection of the posterolateral basal segments bearing unpalpable deep lung nodules.
