Limax Nd:YAG laser-assisted thoracoscopic resection of pulmonary metastases; a single centre's initial experience.

Introduction: Pulmonary metastasectomy and indeed redo-pulmonary metastasectomy are now commonly performed thoracic surgical procedures. The air-sealant, haemostatic, and necrotic properties of the KLS Martin Limax Nd:YAG laser at 1.318 μm make it an ideal tool for limited lung resection such as metastasectomy.
