Abstract:

Objective To evaluate the clinical value of CT-guided localization with medical glue injection in treatment of ground-glass opacity(GGO) and pulmonary nodules with video-assisted thoracoscope surgery(VATS). Methods From December 2013 to November 2014, 10 patients with pure ground-glass opacity(pGGO) and 15 patients with solitary pulmonary nodule(SPN) underwent wedge resection or segmentectomy by VATS. All the patients were injected with medical glue by CT-guided localization before operation. Results CT-guided localization with medical glue was successful in all patients(100%). The time of puncturing was (17.1±6.1)min. There were 1 case of pneumothorax(4%), 5 cases of chest pain(20%) and 6 cases of cough(24%) respectively. The time of operation was (23.1±5.6)min in 10 patients with pGGO, 7 cases with adenocarcinoma were pathologically confirmed, 2 cases of atypical adenomatous hyperplasia, and 1 cases of adenomyosis. The time of operation was (20.4±5.9)min in 15 patients with SPN, 9 cases of adenocarcinoma, 1 case of carcinoma metastaticum, and 5 cases of nonmalignant disease. No conversion to thoracotomy was necessary in any patients and no VATS postoperative major complications occurred. Conclusion There are many advantages of the application, such as safety, simple and accuracy. It is a viable technique for pGGO and SPN localization.
