dc.description.abstractObjective: Transthoracic needle biopsy is a diagnostic method that has proven its reliability in lung nodules and is frequently applied in daily practice. The diagnostic accuracy of biopsies performed with computed tomography navigation is quite high, even if the lesion sizes are smaller than 1 cm. We aimed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy and complications of the computed tomography-guided percutaneous transthoracic needle biopsy procedure performed in our center. Material and Methods: Patients who underwent computed tomography guided percutaneous transthoracic pulmonary nodule biopsy procedure between January 2017 and January 2020 were included in the study. The size and anatomic location of lesions, the distance between the pleura and the lesion, the angle of the needle with the pleura, the procedure time, the number of pathologic samples taken per patient, the total radiation dose, complications, and the pathological results of the lesions were analyzed from the patients’ computed tomography images and patients’ records. Results: Among the 161 patients admitted for the transthoracic percutaneous needle biopsy procedure, 135 were male (mean age 64.3±11.1 years) and 26 were females (mean age 61.3±15.4 years). The pathological evaluation of 32 patients were reported as non-diagnostic. The diagnostic accuracy of computed tomography guided transthoracic biopsy was calculated as 80.1%. Major complications occurred in 10 patients (6.2%), and minor complications occurred in 60 patients (37.2%). The rate of procedure requiring chest tube insertion was 4.9%. The mean effective radiation dose of the patients per procedure was calculated as 5.26±3.25 mSv. Conclusion: Computed tomography guided transthoracic biopsy procedure are a method with a high diagnostic accuracy rate, low rate of complications and can be preferred in all appropriate pulmonary nodules.en_US
