Electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy-guided preoperative lung nodule localization in video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS): a learning curve analysis
ENB OT at the 107<sup>th</sup> nodule leveled off and showed a downward trend. Different lobes have different learning curves, the middle lobe is the easiest lobe to learn with ENB and can be used as the first lobe of choice for beginners. The learning curve can objectively evaluate the accuracy of ENB location and help endoscopists identify areas for improvement.
