What is the most appropriate procedure for intraoperative localization of small pulmonary nodules?

Ciriaco and colleagues described some methods and advantages concerning the intraoperative localization for pulmonary nodules. The researchers previously reported the preoperative computed tomography (CT)-guided hookwire localization method of pulmonary nodules (1). We thank them for mentioning our manuscript as an alternative method of resection for small nodules that require intraoperative localization.
