Patients whose radiologic and pathology records were accessible via the Hospital Information System and the Picture Archiving and Communication System were included.  \nResults: A total of 973 tru-cut biopsy procedures were performed. There was no statistically significant difference in age distribution between sexes (p=0.15) . Most biopsies were performed on the upper lobes, predominantly the right upper lobe (33.2%) . The supine position was the most commonly used during the procedure (49.4%) . The mean lesion diameter and distance from the chest wall were 49±17 mm and 51±16 mm, respectively. A definitive diagnosis was obtained on the first attempt in 78.6% of patients, while repeat biopsies were required in 21.4% . Primary lung malignancy was diagnosed in 63% of cases. Postprocedural complications included pneumothorax in 16.1%, intraparenchymal hemorrhage in 0.1%, hemoptysis in 0.1%, and hemothorax in 0.1% of patients. Complications were most frequently observed following biopsies of the left lower lobe (32.4%) . Lesions located in the upper lobes were significantly more likely to be malignant (p=0.01). A significant increase in complication rates was observed with greater parenchymal tissue penetration during the procedure (p=0.001) .  \nConclusion: Computed tomography-guided percutaneous lung biopsies can be performed more safely by thoracic surgeons due to their procedural experience. Additionally, in the event of complications, thoracic surgeons are more capable of providing prompt and effective intervention, thereby enhancing patient safety. Thoracic surgeons should be actively involved in all diagnostic stages of pulmonary or mediastinal nodules or masses, including procedures such as tru-cut lung biopsy and endobronchial ultrasonography.  \nKeywords: Lung biopsy, lung cancer, pulmonary nodule, thoracic surgery, tru-cut biopsy.  \nÖZ  \nAmaç: Bu çalışmada tanıda kullanılan yöntemlerden biri olan perkütan transtorasik biyopsinin göğüs cerrahları tarafındanuygulanmasını teşvik etmek amaçlandı .  \nÇalışma planı: Bu retrospektif çalışma 01.01.2015-31.01.2024 tarihleri arasında bilgisayarlı tomografi eşliğinde akciğer tru-cut biyopsi uygulanan 793 hasta (632 erkek, 160 kadın; ort . yaş: 65±12 yıl; dağılım, 11-93 yıl) ile yürütüldü .
