About

In the coming years, an increase in lung nodule resection is expected, particularly in Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). In some situations, it is necessary to use a device for locating these nodules. Meanwhile, the Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) is a tool whose use is constantly spreading.

Full description

The aim of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of using intraoperative CBCT to develop a new procedure for intraoperative localization of pulmonary nodules in video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery.

CBCT Acquisition

Experimental group

Description:

The anesthesia and surgery will take place in the usual way. The intervention consists in the CBCT acquisition after the initiation of single-lung ventilation, after the introduction of trocars.

Treatment:

Procedure: Anesthesia and surgery

Procedure: CBCT acquisition
