Abstract
Small pulmonary lesions can be difficult to locate intraoperatively. Preoperative CT scan-guided localization, for example with hookwire, is a popular method to help localize such lesions. However, the delay between CT scan localization with hookwire and surgery can lead to risks of pneumothorax and wire dislodgement. We describe a 56-year-old woman who underwent DynaCT-guided hookwire localization of a ground-glass opacity in the hybrid operating room followed immediately by single-port video-assisted thoracic surgery lobectomy. The advantages, disadvantages, and special considerations in adopting this approach are discussed.
