The localization of lung nodules is divided into preoperative localization and intraoperative localization, and preoperative localization is often used in clinical practice, specifically including CT guidance, bronchoscopy guidance and three-dimensional virtual localization.
1. CT-guided: under CT-guidance, dye is injected through puncture and metal spring coils, localization needles, sclerosing agents, etc. are placed.
2. Bronchoscopic guidance: injection of stain markers or spring coils under electromagnetic navigation bronchoscope guidance.
3. 3D virtual localization: Using high-resolution CT images combined with 3D reconstruction software, the site of the nodule is presented and the scope of surgical resection is precisely planned.
After the diagnosis of lung nodule, if you need to do the surgery, you must actively cooperate with the doctor, according to their actual situation to choose the most suitable localization plan, after the operation, you should pay attention to the conditioning, to maintain a good habit of life, and should be regularly rechecked.
