Highlight ■ This method enables surgeons to visually identify the lesion pathway without intraoperative imaging, enhancing precision and workflow. ■ A practical, cost-effective alternative to high-end technologies such as electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy and hybrid operating rooms. ■ Metallic wires offer excellent intraoperative visibility on the lung surface, supporting their clinical utility. ■ All nonpalpable nodules were successfully resected, with no complications related to the preoperative localization procedure. ■ CT-guided preoperative localization of nonpalpable pulmonary lesions using a purpose-built device demonstrates […]

ABSTRACT Objective: To change the gasless fetoscopy technique in order to reduce the diameter of entry orifices in the myometrium. Methods: Seven pregnant ewes were submitted to fetoscopy for repairing a large skin defect measuring 4.0 × 3.0 cm, created in the fetal lumbar region at the gestational age of 100 days. The defect was repaired through continuous suture of the skin with approximation of borders. Gasless fetoscopy was used for performing the suture with three orifices to allow entry […]
