Scientists at Korea University describe research in interstitial lung disease.
According to recent research published in the journal Annals of Thoracic Surgery, "We evaluated the feasibility and accuracy of a needlescopic procedure for lung biopsies in patients with interstitial lung disease or indeterminate pulmonary nodules. Sixty-five patients (36 women; mean age, 51.3 +/- 15.6; range, 13 to 76 years) underwent a needlescopic procedure to obtain lung biopsy specimens."
"Forty had indeterminate pulmonary nodules, and 25 had interstitial lung disease. A 2-mm needlescope and a 2-mm MiniSite Endo Grasp (Covidien, Norwalk, CT) were inserted at the sixth intercostal space along the middle and the posterior axillary line, respectively. Biopsy specimens were obtained using endostaplers. The average number of biopsy specimens was 1.7 +/- 0.6 (range, 1 to 4). For 9 patients, a frozen specimen was sent twice to pathology. Complete resection was continued after intraoperative pathology confirmation in 13 patients (lobectomy, 7; segmentectomy, 3; mass removal, 1; metastasectomy, 2). The volume of lung tissue was 8.7 +/- 11.8 cm(3) (range, 0.15 to 55.44 cm(3)). The operation time was 58.7 +/- 37.5 minutes (range, 15 to 160 minutes). The final pathologic results were confirmed in all patients. No thoracoscopic procedure was converted to an open thoracotomy. Three patients (4.3%) had prolonged air ...
