Surgical stapling devices are widespread in many branches of surgery and are employed with success in thoracic surgery. Our experience is in line with that of other Authors: stapling of the bronchus is faster, does not contaminate the operative field and reduces the incidence of bronchopleural fistulas (4.76% to 1.59%). Parenchymal stapling is indicated for resection of bullae, metastases and peripheral lesions. The mechanical suture is air-tight and faster than manual suture. Pulmonary vessels may also be closed mechanically; however, we do not advocate the use of stapling devices especially in the closure of the pulmonary artery.

Abstract
Surgical stapling devices are widespread in many branches of surgery and are employed with success in thoracic surgery. Our experience is in line with that of other Authors: stapling of the bronchus is faster, does not contaminate the operative field and reduces the incidence of bronchopleural fistulas (4.76% to 1.59%). Parenchymal stapling is indicated for resection of bullae, metastases and peripheral lesions. The mechanical suture is air-tight and faster than manual suture. Pulmonary vessels may also be closed mechanically; however, we do not advocate the use of stapling devices especially in the closure of the pulmonary artery.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
