    AbstractThis article details a modified method of tactile localization for deep pulmonary nodules of less than 20 mm size and at a distance of more than 15 mm from the visceral pleura. Sixteen patients with deep nodules were successfully located and underwent subsequent thoracoscopic wedge resection. This technique is a continuance of the traditional finger-tough method, which can be an effective complementary technique. Georg Thieme Verlag KG Stuttgart · New York.
