Abstract
Localization techniques are very helpful for guiding resection of small indeterminate lung nodules, particularly if minimally invasive surgical techniques such as video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) or robotic-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS) are utilized. Various techniques have been adopted, but there is no consensus about the best technique to localize small nodules in the lung. In this section, two different localization techniques are reviewed:
