ABSTRACT
Introduction:
Computed tomography (CT)-guided liquid material (LM) and hook-wire (HW) are usually localized for pulmonary nodules (PNs) before video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) resection, but the relative advantages of these 2 techniques remain uncertain.Aim:
This meta-analysis was conceived to juxtapose the efficacy and safety of HW localization (HWL) and LM localization (LML), both guided by CT, for the preoperative localization of PNs. Material andmethods:
The PubMed, Web of Science, and Wanfang databases were searched to identify relevant studies published as of March 2023, after which pooled analyses of study outcomes were conducted.Results:
A total of 7 studies were included in this meta-analysis from 142 relevant studies. These 7 studies included 551 patients (583 PNs) with CT-guided HWL and 551 patients (612 PNs) with LML. The successful localization rate was significantly higher in the LM group (LMG) than in the HW group (HWG) (p = 0.002). The LMG also exhibited significantly lower pooled total complication and lung haemorrhage rates than the HWG (p = 0.007 and 0.00001, respectively). Pooled localization duration, pneumothorax rates, and VATS procedure duration were comparable in both groups (p = 0.45, 0.15, and 0.74, respectively). Furthermore, the pooled postoperative hospital stay was significantly shorter in the LMG than in the HWG (p = 0.009). Significant heterogeneity was detected in the endpoints of localization duration and pneumothorax rate (I2 = 93% and 66%, respectively).Conclusions:
CT-guided LML is safer and more successful than HWL for patients with PNs before VATS resection.
