Robotic-assisted CT-guided percutaneous pulmonary nodules localization by hook-wire needles: a retrospective observational study.


ABSTRACT:

Background

Preoperative computed tomography (CT)-guided localization of small pulmonary nodules (SPNs) is the major approach for accurate intraoperative visualization in video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). However, this interventional procedure has certain risks and may challenge to less experienced junior doctors. This study aims to evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of robotic-assisted CT-guided preoperative pulmonary nodules localization with the modified hook-wire needles before VATS.

Methods

A total of 599 patients with 654 SPNs who preoperatively accepted robotic-assisted CT-guided percutaneous pulmonary localization were respectively enrolled and compared to 90 patients with 94 SPNs who underwent the conventional CT-guided manual localization. The clinical and imaging data including patients' basic information, pulmonary nodule features, location procedure findings, and operation time were analyzed.

Results

The localization success rate was 96.64% (632/654). The mean time required for marking was 22.85±10.27 min. Anchor of dislodgement occurred in 2 cases (0.31%). Localization-related complications included pneumothorax in 163 cases (27.21%), parenchymal hemorrhage in 222 cases (33.94%), pleural reaction in 3 cases (0.50%), and intercostal vascular hemorrhage in 5 cases (0.83%). Localization and VATS were performed within 24 hours. All devices were successfully retrieved in VATS. Histopathological examination revealed 166 (25.38%) benign nodules and 488 (74.62%) malignant nodules. For patients who received localizations, VATS spent a significantly shorter time, especially the segmentectomy group (93.61±35.72 vs. 167.50±40.70 min, P<0.001). The proportion of pneumothorax in the robotic-assisted group significantly decreased compared with the conventional manual group (27.21% vs. 43.33%, P=0.002).

Conclusions

Robotic-assisted CT-guided percutaneous pulmonary nodules hook-wire localization could be effectively helpful for junior less experienced interventional physicians to master the procedure and potentially increase precision.
