Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) has become more commonly used in recent years. To provide a sufficient field of view during these procedures, surgeons must manipulate the lung using conventional devices such as cotton-tipped medical applicators and graspers. However, medical applicators are unable to pull on the target lung lobes, and graspers can damage the lung tissue. We developed a novel suction-based lung-stabilizing silicon device to easily and safely manipulate the lung in order to provide an optimal view during VATS procedures. Here, we describe the use of this device to successfully perform VATS lobectomy in a clinical setting.
近年来，电视辅助胸腔镜手术（VATS）的应用越来越普遍。在这些手术过程中，为了提供足够的视野，外科医生必须使用传统器械（如棉头医用涂抹器和抓钳）来操作肺部。然而，医用涂抹器无法牵拉目标肺叶，抓钳则可能损伤肺组织。我们开发了一种新型的基于吸力的肺稳定硅装置，以便在VATS手术过程中轻松、安全地操作肺部，从而提供最佳视野。在此，我们描述了在临床环境中使用该装置成功实施VATS肺叶切除术的情况。
