What does puncture lung nodule mean?

Pulmonary nodule puncture is a noninvasive interventional examination method. After local anesthesia in the patient's chest, a puncture needle is directly used to puncture the lung for sampling, so as to obtain tissues or cells at the lesion site. This examination method can accurately judge the nature and pathological state of pulmonary nodules, and it is one of the important means of early lung cancer screening and diagnosis. At the same time, this examination method has the characteristics of simple operation, less trauma and quick recovery, which ensures the physical and mental health of patients.

Lung nodule puncture is widely used in the medical field, and its indications include early lung cancer, metastatic tumor, tuberculosis, pneumonia and other diseases. This examination method can diagnose lung diseases quickly and accurately, and at the same time, make histological analysis of the lesion site to understand the growth mode and growth law of the lesion. In addition, lung nodule puncture can help scientists better understand lung cancer and provide more accurate basis for its prevention and treatment.

Although lung nodule puncture is a non-invasive examination method, it still has certain risks. During the operation, doctors need to fully consider the patient's physical condition, the location and size of pulmonary nodules and other factors, and cut according to the specific situation. Although the risk of operation is limited, attention should be paid to avoid unnecessary complications during operation. In addition, it is necessary for patients to know the specific procedures and precautions in detail before receiving lung nodule puncture to ensure the success rate of surgery and the safety of patients.
