Abstract

Objectives: Introduction of the radiofrequency identification (RFID) marking system has enabled the precise localization of small pulmonary nodules, facilitating precise sublobar lung resection (PSR). However, the necessary hybrid operating room (HOR) for such precision procedures is mainly available in advanced medical institutions and not universally accessible. Performance of marker placement and lung resection at different facilities without the HOR can promote the widespread adoption of PSR.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the data of five patients who underwent thoracoscopic PSR at Fukuoka University Hospital after placement of RFID markers under cone beam computed tomography guidance at the Fukuoka Seisyukai Hospital from March to June 2024.

Results: In all patients, the RFID marker was successfully placed in the intended locations, and no marker migration and no clinical complications occurred during patient transfer from the Fukuoka Seisyukai Hospital to Fukuoka University Hospital. All patients underwent uneventful simultaneous marker removal and lesion resection within 72 h of marker placement.

Conclusion: It is feasible to transfer a patient to another facility after placing an RFID marker and subsequently perform PSR.

射频识别标记物放置后患者间转移在肺叶下小结节精确切除中的应用。

目的：射频识别（RFID）标记系统的引入使肺小结节的精确定位成为可能，为精确的肺叶下切除术（PSR）提供了便利。然而，这种精密手术所需的混合手术室（HOR）主要在先进的医疗机构中提供，并不是普遍可用。在没有HOR的情况下，在不同的机构进行标记物放置和肺切除术可以促进PSR的广泛采用。方法：回顾性分析2024年3月至6月在福冈地震会医院锥形束计算机断层扫描引导下放置RFID标记物后在福冈大学医院接受胸腔镜PSR的5例患者的数据。结果：在所有患者中，RFID标记都成功放置在预定位置，从福冈地震kai医院转移到福冈大学医院的过程中没有发生标记迁移和临床并发症。所有患者均在标记放置后72小时内进行了标记清除和病变切除。结论：在放置射频识别标记并随后进行PSR后将患者转移到另一个机构是可行的。
