    CT-guided microwave ablation combined with Uni-VATS is a safe and feasible treatment for multiple pulmonary ground-glass nodules.

  • 2

    The study involved 31 patients, treating 78 lesions with a technical success rate of 100% and no severe complications.

  • 3

    Postoperative complications were minimal, with only one patient experiencing pneumothorax and subcutaneous emphysema.

  • 4

    The mean sizes of ablated and resected nodules were 7.4 mm and 12.2 mm, respectively, indicating effective treatment of varying sizes.

  • 5

    This combined approach may offer an alternative for patients unable to tolerate simultaneous removal of multiple nodules.
