Recently, with the proliferation of high-resolution computed tomography (CT), the frequency of small pulmonary nodules appears higher and more precise than previously estimated, especially in CT screening in patients with high risk factors for lung cancer. Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) provides a new minimally invasive treatment for the diagnosis and treatment of small pulmonary nodules. The VATS results in less pain, shorter hospital stay, and reduced surgical complications, making it more widely available. How to accurately locate and mark lesions is important for video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery. This article reviews the various techniques used to locate pulmonary nodules in surgery in recent years and summarizes the advantages and disadvantages of them. .
