  • Title: [Automatic suturing devices in lung surgery (author's transl)].
    Author: Moritz E, Strahberger E, Buchberger R.
    Journal: Wien Klin Wochenschr; 1982 Apr 02; 94(7):189-92. PubMed ID: 7101955.
    Abstract:
    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.
