Overview
- The mainstay of treatment for pulmonary nodule is surgery.
- Common surgical procedures for the treatment of pulmonary nodule include:
- Wedge resection
- Lobectomy
- Segmentectomy
- Lung volume reduction surgery
- The preferred surgical procedure is wedge resection by video-assisted thoracic surgery and subsequent pathological evaluation.
- The majority of surgical excisions include preoperative localization techniques such as preoperative placement of dye, technetium-99 radio guidance, ultrasound, or fluoroscopy.
- In some cases, surgical excision may be preferred by patients with the following characteristics:[1]
Indications
The mainstay of treatment for pulmonary nodule is surgical excision.
