Single-Encounter Augmented Reality-Guided Localization Enhances Early-Stage Lung Cancer Resection: Review of a Pivotal Randomized Clinical Trial
Highlights
- First randomized trial demonstrating single-encounter AR-guided percutaneous localization as noninferior to multiple-encounter CT-guided localization for early-stage lung cancer surgery.
- AR-guided localization significantly reduces radiation exposure, patient pain, and procedural time without compromising surgical accuracy or margin adequacy.
- Adoption of AR localization streamlines workflow by consolidating localization and surgery into one anesthetic encounter, potentially decreasing pneumothorax risk associated with multiple punctures.
