It was a retrospective study in which cases were recruited in order of arrival and not randomised. Said cases came from a single site and were relatively low in number. Moreover, seven cases were excluded who had a pneumothorax during the biopsy procedure, before the hydrogel plug was inserted, which could have altered the effectiveness of the hydrogel plug in the results obtained.

New prospective, randomised, multicentre studies will thus be required to confirm the utility of hydrogel plugs.</p><p id="par0285" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In conclusion, we believe the use of dehydrated hydrogel in CT-guided lung biopsies to be safe and simple, and that it significantly reduces the percentage of patients with pneumothoraces, as well as the length of their
