The advent of image-guided video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (iVATS) has allowed the simultaneous localization and removal of small lung nodules. The aim of this study is to detail, in a retrospective review, one institution's experience using iVATS in this clinical setting, with a special attention to efficacy, safety, and procedural details.
