Image‐guided video‐assisted thoracoscopic resection (iVATS): Translation to clinical practice—real‐world experience

We developed a novel approach for localization and resection of lung nodules, using image‐guided video‐assisted thoracoscopic surgery (iVATS). We report our experience of translating iVATS into clinical care.
