Abstract: BACKGROUND Small pulmonary nodules (SPNs) often cannot be accurately located during video-assisted thoracoscopic (VATS) resection, and preoperative computed tomography (CT)-guided localization performed using hook wire placement can be helpful. However, recent studies revealed a trend… read more here.
