Abstract

Background: The localization of pulmonary nodules is crucial for surgical intervention. However, a safe, simple, and efficient method remains elusive. This study aims to evaluate the safety and feasibility of a newly developed preoperative localization method for pulmonary nodules called Rapid Localization of Pulmonary Nodules On-Site (RLPN-OS).

Methods: This study is a single-center, single-arm prospective investigation that collects and analyses the clinical data of patients who underwent RLPN-OS and lung resection, primarily evaluating the safety and feasibility of this technique.

Results: A total of 200 lung nodules from 190 patients who underwent RLPN-OS and partial lobectomy were included in this study. The success rate of localization was 98.0%, and minor intercostal bleeding was observed in 3 (1.5%) cases. All targeted lesions were located and resected successfully. No patients reported experiencing anxiety or pain during or after the procedure.

Conclusions: This novel RLPN-OS technology represents a safe, feasible, patient-friendly, and cost-effective method for lung nodule localization. It has the potential to serve as an alternative to traditional CT-guided percutaneous localization techniques.

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Surgery (IJS) has a broad scope, encompassing all surgical specialties. Its primary objective is to facilitate the exchange of crucial ideas and lines of thought between and across these specialties.By doing so, the journal aims to counter the growing trend of increasing sub-specialization, which can result in "tunnel-vision" and the isolation of significant surgical advancements within specific specialties.
