Robotic bronchoscopy has demonstrated high navigational success in small peripheral lung nodules but the diagnostic yield is discrepantly lower. Needle based confocal laser endomicroscopy (nCLE) enables real‐time microscopic imaging at the needle tip. We aim to assess feasibility, safety and needle repositioning based on real‐time nCLE‐guidance during robotic bronchoscopy in small peripheral lung nodules.
