Description
Ruifeng Xu and co-authors compare patient-reported recovery after two surgical routes for multiple primary lung nodules, in a 2025 cohort study. One route mixes heat ablation through the skin with keyhole surgery, ablating side nodules while removing the main lesion. The other is standard single-port keyhole surgery alone.
The longitudinal study includes 183 patients with early-stage disease. Patient-reported outcomes are tracked over time for both groups. The authors ask whether the hybrid route is a safe and effective option for cases long deemed challenging. If so, it could widen who can receive minimally invasive therapy. Recovery as patients feel it is the focus.
