In this session from the 12th Annual Pediatric Surgery Update Course, Dr. Gloria Gonzalez discusses the innovative use of lipiodol to mark pulmonary nodules for minimally invasive resection in children. Adapted from adult procedures, lipiodol is a promising alternative to traditional localization methods, offering precise marking with minimal complications.

Key Points Covered:

Challenges in Nodule Localization: High conversion rates during thoracoscopy due to failure to locate small or calcified nodules using CT, ultrasound, or hook wires.
Lipiodol Technique: A CT-guided marking procedure where lipiodol dye remains stable for up to three months, allowing for flexible surgery scheduling.
Clinical Outcomes: Dr. Gonzalez’s team achieved 100% sensitivity in 33 patients, resecting over 50 nodules with improved accuracy and efficiency.
