[The sutureless lung resection with Ligasure device: the possibilities and perspectives].
The experimental study of the durability of the "collagen" suture of the lung, performed with the use of the Ligasure device, was conducted. 17 patients, whom 21 lung resection was performet took part in the study. In the experimental part of the study the average rupture pressure of the collagen plomb was 413±99.4 mm Hg for the intact lung parenchyma and 212±66.7 mm Hg for the emphisematously changed tissue. The prolonged aerostatic insufficiency was registered only in two cases. The Ligasure suturing device proved to be the highly effective and safe for the use in thoracic surgery.
