Recent advances in endoscopic surgical equipment, video monitoring, and endoscopic surgical techniques have expanded the application of thoracoscopic surgery to pulmonary resection. One of the major limitations of this technique is the difficulty in identifying invisible pulmonary nodules in which manual palpation is not possible. To resolve this problem, we employed intraoperative intrathoracic ultrasonography during video-assisted thoracoscopic pulmonary resection. We conclude that intraoperative ultrasonography during thoracoscopic pulmonary resection is useful to identify pulmonary nodules, except inflammatory lesions.
内镜手术设备、视频监测和内镜手术技术的最新进展已将胸腔镜手术的应用扩展到肺切除术。该技术的主要局限性之一是难以识别无法进行手动触诊的隐匿性肺结节。为了解决这个问题，我们在电视辅助胸腔镜肺切除术中采用了术中胸腔内超声检查。我们得出结论，胸腔镜肺切除术中的术中超声检查有助于识别肺结节，但炎症性病变除外。
