[Staplers and pulmonary surgery].
The Authors report their experience with staplers (model T.A. 30) in lung surgery: 152 stapled sutures were, in fact, performed in the IV Surgical Department of the University "La Sapienza" of Rome, during the period 1980/90. The use of staplers assures a perfect closure and prevents granulomas due to suture materials in typical as well as atypical lung resections.
