Reinforced staple line in severely emphysematous lungs

FM Juettner, P Kohek, H Pinter, G Klepp and G Friehs
Department of Thoracic and Hyperbaric Surgery, University Medical School of Graz, Austria.

In severely emphysematous or otherwise destroyed lung parenchyma, staples often cut through, which causes prolonged postoperative air leakage. A mechanical suture line reinforced by a polydioxanone ribbon is a simple, safe, and effective method for closure of air leaks, resection, or biopsy in such cases.
