Robot-Assisted Versus Manual Puncture for Pulmonary Nodule Ablation
Comparison of Robot-Assisted Versus Manual Puncture for Ablation of Pulmonary Nodules: A Prospective Cohort Study
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 20 Jul 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
Pulmonary nodule ablation is an established minimally invasive treatment for selected patients with pulmonary nodules. Accurate puncture is critical for procedural efficiency and safety. This prospective observational cohort study aims to compare robot-assisted and conventional manual CT-guided puncture techniques for pulmonary nodule ablation. The primary outcomes are the number of intraoperative CT scans and needle adjustments. Secondary outcomes include puncture success, puncture accuracy, radiation exposure, and procedure-related complications. The results will provide evidence regarding the clinical effectiveness and safety of robot-assisted puncture in pulmonary nodule ablation.
