METHODS OF BRONCHIAL STUMP CLOSURE BY EXTERNAL COMPRESSION

bronchial stump closure with amniotic membrane in animal model

background: coverage of the bronchial stumps (bss) with adjacent tissues can improve healing and reduce bronchial complications in complex thoracic surgery. there is no evidence for the application of human amnion allograft for prevention of air leak from the bs. the comparison of the amniotic membrane (am) and pleural patch for bs healing after lobectomy in dogs was our aim in this study. mate...

Methods for closure of appendix stump during laparoscopic appendectomy procedure.

The most frequent abdominal pathology requiring emergent surgery is acute appendicitis. Laparoscopic appendectomy has been performed for the treatment of acute appendicitis since 1983. Closure of the appendix stump is vital to prevent severe postoperative complications. Different methods are described for closure such as stapler, endoloop, titanium clips, non-absorbable polymer clips (hem-o-lok...

Anatomical and Clinical Correlation Study of Bronchial Stump Closure Secondary Adjusted Lung Resection

Bronchial stump recurrence after surgery for bronchial carcinoma.

In 10 out of 295 patients (3.4%), followed-up after radical resection for non-small cell bronchial carcinoma in the period from 1980 until 1986, bronchial stump recurrence developed. A good relationship was found between relapse time (4-52 months) and distance between the primary tumour and bronchial resection line (1-7 cm) (i.e. 5-8 months.cm-1) in 8 of the patients (p less than 0.01). The mea...
