TI  - Combination of CT-guided hookwire localization and video-assisted thoracoscopic 
      surgery for pulmonary nodular lesions: Analysis of 103 patients.
PG  - 824-828
AB  - At present, there is no standardized method for the diagnosis and management of 
      pulmonary nodular lesions (PNLs) smaller than 3 cm. This study investigated the 
      use of computed tomography (CT)-guided hookwire localization and video-assisted 
      thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) for PNLs. A total of 103 patients undergoing 
      CT-guided hook-wire localization and VATS were enrolled, and 107 lesions were 
      collected. We assessed the localization achievement ratio, complications rate, 
      conversion thoracotomy rate, intraoperative dislodgement rate, pathological 
      diagnosis rate, duration of surgery and average days of hospitalization. All 107 
      nodules from 103 patients were successfully localized (100%), the asymptomatic 
      pneumothorax rate was 36.9%, the asymptomatic hemorrhage rate was 40.8% and the 
      simultaneous pneumothorax and hemorrhage rate was 8.7%. A conversion thoracotomy 
      was required in 2 (1.9%) patients and the intraoperative dislodgement rate was 
      2.9%. The average time for localization was 11+/-4 min, and the average times for 
      wedge resection and lobectomies were 16+/-2 and 95+/-30 min, respectively. The mean 
      hospitalization time following the surgery was 6+/-3 days. All 107 nodules managed 
      to achieve pathological diagnoses. A combination of CT-guided hook-wire 
      localization and VATS for PNL is a safe and efficient procedure of great clinical 
      value.
