Single-Stage Localization and Thoracoscopic Removal of Nonpalpable Pulmonary Nodules in a Hybrid Operating Room.

iVATS seems to be a helpful tool for simultaneous localization and removal of nonpalpable nodules. A versatile approach using different devices seems advisable for the removal of targets in every clinical scenario reducing VATS conversion rate. Future research is required to compare iVATS with traditional preoperative localization techniques.
