2. Figure 1
Schematic drawing (A) and intraoperative thoracoscopic view (B) of full lung palpation performed by a modified digital-instrumental method entailing forefinger palpating targeted lung tissue through the open ring (R1) and against the flat filled-in ring (R2) of the modified ring forceps showed in cartouche. In this way, fine bimanual-like lung palpation is likely to be performed as we previously performed through the transxiphoid VATS approach.
