Abstract

Purpose: To explore the application value of CT-guided localization using a coil in combination with medical adhesive in sublobar resection.

Methods: The clinical data of 90 patients who had small pulmonary nodules and received thoracoscopic sublobar resection during the period from September 2021 to October 2022 in the Department of Thoracic Surgery, Juxian People's Hospital, Shandong Province, were retrospectively analyzed.

Results: The diameters of 95 pulmonary nodules in the 90 patients in the whole group ranged from 0.40 to 1.24 cm, and their distances from the visceral pleura ranged from 0.51 to 2.15 cm. In these patients, percutaneous lung puncture was successfully performed under local anesthesia, through which coils were implanted in the nodules and medical adhesive was injected around the nodules, with a success rate of localization of 100%. Localization complications included 10 cases of asymptomatic pneumothorax, 9 cases of intrapulmonary hemorrhage, 5 cases of severe pain, and 1 case of pleural reaction, all of which required no special treatment. After preoperative localization, the success rate of resection of pulmonary nodules was 100%, and sufficient surgical margins were obtained.

Conclusion: CT-guided localization using a coil in combination with medical adhesive is a safe, effective, and simple localization method that can meet the requirements of thoracic surgeons for intraoperative localization; for small pulmonary nodules, especially those small-sized and deep-located ground-glass nodules containing few solid mass, this method has important clinical application value, which is a preoperative localization technique worthy of wide application in clinical practice.
