Abstract:

The review presents the data available in the literature on the choice of a bronchial stump closure technique after anatomic lung resection. It considers the advantages of a manual or mechanical suture in determining the best way to prevent a formidable postoperative complication, such as bronchopleural fistula.

Keywords:

lung cancer
manual bronchial suture
mechanical bronchial suture
incompetence of bronchial stump sutures
