Application of the Localization Technique in Video-assisted Thoracoscopy for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Solitary Pulmonary Nodule
Background and objective Video-assisted thoracoscopy is widely used in diagnosis and treatment of solitary pulmonary nodule (SPN). However, localization of the nodule during surgery is occasionally difficult. The purpose of the current research is to evaluate the localization technique during diagno...
