Excerpt

We express our opinion about the article of Yamamoto and associates. First, we congratulate them for the results they obtained in their study. We agree with author of the article [4] about the utility of intraoperative sonographic for locating peripheral pulmonary nodules. In our department, we have performed intrathoracoscopic localization of solitary pulmonary nodules. We think that intrathoracoscopic ultrasound is useful for locating not only pulmonary nodules, but also study structures around the nodule-like vessels, bronchi, and limphonodes . Moreover, we think intrathoracoscopic ultrasound also is useful for detecting resection margins. …
