Abstract

Solitary pulmonary nodules are an increasingly common finding worldwide. When surgery is requested for a definitive diagnosis, the international guidelines agree that minimally invasive surgery should be performed. However, can be difficult to localize small, deep, or subsolid nodes during minimally invasive surgery. This large observational cohort study shows that radioguided surgery is a cost-effective strategy with a low conversion rate.
