Objective: The increasing detection of small and non-palpable pulmonary nodules through low-dose computed tomography (CT) screening has highlighted the need for reliable intraoperative localization, particularly during video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). CT-guided methylene blue marking is a simple, rapid, and widely accessible technique that facilitates minimally invasive resection. This study aimed to evaluate the technical success, safety profile, and determinants of outcomes in CT-guided methylene blue localization of pulmonary nodules.
