Localization of multiple small pulmonary nodules is the major obstacle in surgical resection. Here, we report a novel noninvasive localization technique based on a life-size 3D printed "emulation pulmonary nodule localization model" which is simple and efficient. In the case reported here of a patient with synchronous multiple pulmonary nodules, the nodules were successfully and conveniently localized without any trauma by navigation of the emulation localization model. All 12 nodules were resected precisely and thoroughly, while normal lung tissues were considerably well preserved. Pathological examination confirmed malignancy of the major nodule and some other small nodules.
多个肺小结节的定位是外科切除的主要障碍。在这里，我们报告了一种新的基于等大 3D 打印“模拟肺结节定位模型”的无创定位技术，该技术简单高效。在本例中，一名患者有多个同步性肺结节，通过模拟定位模型导航，成功且方便地对这些结节进行了定位，且没有造成任何创伤。所有 12 个结节均被准确、彻底地切除，同时，正常肺组织得到了很好的保留。病理检查证实了主要结节和其他一些小结节的恶性。
