The average size of nodules was 11.80\u2009mm. Technical success was 100% with a mean minimum margin of 6\u2009mm. Complications occurred in 23 procedures; the majority were CTCAE grade 1 complications (74%), which resolved shortly with observation, and the rest were grade 2 and 3 complications (13%), including one case of bronchopleural fistula and two cases of pneumothorax that required drainage. The average length of stay was 1.46\u2009days. A total of 11 cases of same-session ablation with lung resection were performed. The average procedural time was 226\u2009min, which is significantly shorter than the 27 cases of separate surgery and ablation during the same period (P\u2009=\u20090.012).<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>CONCLUSIONS<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Performing transbronchial microwave ablation utilizing electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopic guidance is feasible and safe in the background of lung resection.
