“…The two methods seem similar in terms of postoperative complications and respiratory function (8,9), but if stapling allows a reduction in the hospital length of stay, it generates a defect of pulmonary re-expansion in 2.5% of cases at 1 month (10). At last, the method described by Suzuki et al (5) is not applicable to pleural defect related to dissection or made outside the stapling area. It is therefore not a unique method but a useful complement to methods already described.…”
