Abstract
BACKGROUND: How to locate pulmonary ground-glass nodules in thoracoscopic surgery is an important clinical topic in minimally invasive thoracic surgery. There is no unified localization method at present. This study intends to investigate the accuracy and security of body surface theodolitic puncture localization method in video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery for pulmonary ground-glass nodules. METHODS: The clinical data of 41 patients from August 2018 to December 2019 were analyzed retrospectively, including 28 males and 13 females. After anesthesia, the patient was located by body surface theodolitic puncture, and then partial lobectomy was performed under video-assisted thoracoscopy. The distance from the nodule to the marked suture and the distance from the nodule to the incisal margin were measured, and the accuracy of localization, the rate of complication and the success rate of surgical resection were calculated. RESULTS: A total of 51 nodules in 41 patients were located by body surface theodolitic puncture localization method. The accuracy rate was 96.1%, and the average location time was 8.3 min. Puncture bleeding occurred in 5 cases (12.2%), all of which were successfully stopped by video-assisted thoracoscopy, and there were no other complications. All patients underwent thoracoscopic partial lobectomy, including 33 cases of anatomical segmentectomy and 8 cases of wedge lobectomy. All the patients in operation process smoothly. The distance between nodule and incisal margin was measured, and all specimens were more than 2 cm, reaching a safe distance. The success rate of surgical resection was 100.0%. CONCLUSIONS: In video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery for ground glass nodules of lung, the body surface theodolitic puncture localization method can be accurate, safe and simple.

CT measurement and body surface longitude and latitude line. A: CT determines the longitude line: vertical line at the highest point in lateral position; latitude line: lower edge of the 8th rib (avoiding intercostal vessels); puncture depth: 3.6 cm; B: Body surface marking: the crossing point of longitude and latitude line is the puncture point. CT: computed tomography.
CT测量及体表经纬线确定。A:CT确定经线:侧卧位最高点垂直线;纬线:第8肋骨下缘(避开肋间血管);穿刺深度:3.6 cm;B:体表划线:经纬线交点即为穿刺点。CT measurement and body surface longitude and latitude line.

CT: computed tomography.体表投影点和穿刺深度确定后, 如体表投影点位于肋间(除肋骨下缘), 则直接用22 G穿刺针在体表投影点垂直穿刺达预定穿刺深度即可, 退针后置入胸腔镜, 便可观察到肺表面穿刺点, 即为结节位置, 用缝线打结作为标记。如果体表投影点位于肋骨及肋骨下缘, 无法穿刺, 则在体表投影点附近寻找一处适合穿刺的点, 然后测量穿刺点与结节体表投影点的距离和方向。在穿刺点垂直穿刺达预定穿刺深度, 并在胸腔镜下观察到肺表面穿刺点, 然后根据体表测量穿刺点与结节体表投影点的距离和方向, 在肺表面确定相应位置, 即为结节位置, 用缝线打结作为标记。
