Application of “suction-guided stapling” during uniportal thoracoscopic major lung resection

Uniportal thoracoscopic major pulmonary resection is used worldwide as a minimally invasive surgery. Occasionally, it is difficult to insert a stapler smoothly during uniportal thoracoscopic major pulmonary resection because of limited angulation. To address this challenge, we used “suction-guided s...

Description
Summary:Uniportal thoracoscopic major pulmonary resection is used worldwide as a minimally invasive surgery. Occasionally, it is difficult to insert a stapler smoothly during uniportal thoracoscopic major pulmonary resection because of limited angulation. To address this challenge, we used “suction-guided stapling” to divide the bronchus or pulmonary vein. Here, we provide details of this technique, including division of the pulmonary veins or bronchus in a video. In addition, we validate this technique by showing perioperative results of uniportal thoracoscopic major pulmonary resections in our department.
