We used the powered vascular staple (PVS) instead of the conventional staple technique [the utilization of the powered linier cutter (PLC)] or ligation for total 23 segmental or subsegmental bronchi with less than 10 mm in the bronchial luminal size on computed tomography (CT) in thoracoscopic segmentectomy. Our results suggested that the availability of the PVS represents a novel advance in the armamentarium and may have a possibility of being pervasive widely however, more observative periods and further sample accumulation are needed.
在胸腔镜肺段切除术中,对于计算机断层扫描(CT)显示支气管腔直径小于10mm的总共23个肺段或亚段支气管,我们使用动力血管吻合器(PVS)替代传统吻合技术[使用动力直线切割器(PLC)]或结扎术。我们的结果表明,PVS的可用性代表了器械库中的一项新进展,并且可能有广泛普及的可能性,然而,需要更长的观察期和进一步的样本积累。
