The value of thoracoscopic ultrasound for the localization of ground-glass opacities with incomplete lung collapse in video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery
Thoracoscopic ultrasound could effectively locate GGO in the condition of incomplete lung collapse and not affect the surgical field, especially when the GGO is close to the pleura, which provides an alternative method for GGO localization in patients who cannot achieve complete lung collapse during VATS.
