AI Article Synopsis
- A new method for controlling air leaks during surgery involves using a free pericardial fat pad to cover damaged lung tissue.
- The fat pad is secured with a polyglycolic acid sheet and fibrin glue, eliminating the need for sutures.
- This approach effectively manages air leaks and reduces overall operative time.
Article Abstract
Here, we introduce a new method for intraoperative control of air leak using a free pericardial fat pad covering to lung damage with sutureless fixation. We covered the damaged lung tissue with a free pericardial fat pad with a polyglycol acid sheet and fibrin glue fixation. This method provides a good air leak controlling effect with the use of a free pericardial fat pad and relatively short operative time with sutureless fixation.
