[Automatic suturing devices in lung surgery (author's transl)]. 1982

E Moritz, and E Strahberger, and R Buchberger

Automatic stapling devices can be used for suturing the bronchus, pulmonary parenchyma and pulmonary vessels in lung resections. In particular, TA staplers have proved of great value in suturing the bronchial stump, helping to prevent the feared complication of stump insufficiency. No bronchopleural fistulae were recorded in a series of 220 lung resections.
