Comparison of hook wire versus coil localization for video‐assisted thoracoscopic surgery

A hook wire has been most widely used for computed tomography (CT)‐guided localization before video‐assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). However, microcoils have been suggested to replace wires. The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy, VATS procedure time, and excised volume of specimens of CT‐guided localization using a hook wire and microcoil
