Minithoracotomy combined with mechanically stapled bronchial and vascular ligation for anatomical lung resection

Adverse Events of Stapling in Thoracic Surgery: Relations between an Incidence of Adverse Events and a Stapling Volume

“…6) Szwerc, et al also reported only one case of misfire in 2548 staplings for the pulmonary vasculatures and the rate of intraoperative AEs was 0.27%. 5) The rate of AEs in stapling for pulmonary vessels seemed to be lower than for the pulmonary parenchyma or the bronchus. 8) We planned the present study to determine the rates of AEs rates of stapling in usual clinical settings.…”

“…The stapling failure rate and AE rate were similar to other reports. 5,6,8) In the present study, the incidence of AEs may be evaluated too few. Especially, the intraoperative air leakage from the pulmonary stamps or splinter points of the staples seems to be the most likely candidate.…”

“…Only a few papers have been published concerning stapling failure and other AEs of stapling. [5][6][7][8] The aim of the present study is to analyze the intraoperative and postoperative AEs of stapling in thoracic surgery and to determine the relation between the incidence of AEs and a surgical volume of thoracic surgery.…”

The advantages of selecting cartridges with a 1.8 mm height for pulmonary stapling

“…Stapling in the management of the lung parenchyma and bronchus was first reported in 1960s [3,4]. As such staplers became more sophisticated, their use has been widely accepted and is today regarded as safe [5][6][7]. Now, the widespread use of video-assisted thoracic surgery is supported by the frequent use of staplers.…”

Adverse Events of Lung Tissue Stapling in Thoracic Surgery

“…Only a few papers have been published concerning stapling failure and other AEs of stapling. [4][5][6][7] Especially the detailed analysis of AEs of stapling of the lung tissue in a large number of patients has not been reported before. The aim of the present study was to analyze the intraoperative and postoperative AEs of stapling of the lung tissue in a multi-institutional retrospective study.…”
