Abstract: Accurate preoperative localization is critical for the surgical resection of small pulmonary nodules, yet conventional CT-guided hookwire placement remains operator-dependent and technically demanding. This prospective study evaluated the clinical performance of a robot-assisted navigation system… read more here.

DOI: 10.7717/peerj.19231
Abstract: Background Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) is a minimally invasive and safe procedure. However, lung deflation during the operation causes anatomic landmark distortion, complicating small nodules detection. Computed tomography (CT)-guided hookwire localization promotes the success rates… read more here.
