Image-guided localization aids surgeons in resecting small lung lesions using video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS). Techniques include preoperative computed tomography (CT) and intraoperative methods, with necessity depending on surgeon skill and lesion characteristics.

Area of Science:

  • Thoracic Surgery
  • Diagnostic Imaging

Background:

  • Video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) is a key tool for lung, pleural, and mediastinal diseases.
  • Small lung lesions pose resection challenges in VATS.
  • Preoperative localization improves surgical outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe image-guided localization techniques for VATS.
  • To review institutional experience with preoperative localization for lung lesions.

Main Methods:

  • Review of localization techniques used prior to VATS.
  • Discussion of computed tomography (CT)-guided localization.
  • Mention of intraoperative endosonographic probe localization.

Main Results:

  • Preoperative CT is the predominant localization method.

  • Intraoperative localization is an alternative approach.
  • Localization necessity varies with surgeon expertise and lesion type.

    • Conclusions:

    • Image-guided localization is crucial for successful VATS resection of difficult lung lesions.
    • The choice of localization technique depends on clinical factors.
    • Continued refinement of localization methods enhances VATS efficacy.
