Computed tomography-guided localization of small lung nodules before video-assisted resection: experience with an efficient hook-wire system.

The rate of successful video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) for resection of pulmonary nodules has improved since the development of radiologic localization techniques. The failure rate has decreased from 45% to 5%.1 Several techniques have been described, including methylene blue injection, hook-wire localization, and combined techniques, but none has proved entirely satisfactory.2-5 We report our experience with a mammographic hook-wire system with characteristics that appear to offer an efficient anchorage.
