A nodule localization system includes a localization structure. The localization structure is arranged to extend from a nodule to a suture, and the entire coil can be located in the lung such that the suture extends through the pleural space. During normal respiration or other movement, the suture will move to be positioned mostly or entirely in the pleural space such that a surgeon can follow the suture to the coil and resect the nodule.
