Abstract

Aerostasis after surgical interventions on the lungs, as well as with lung injuries, remains an unresolved problem of pulmonary surgery. The purpose of this study was to develop and conduct an intraoperative evaluation of a new method of sealing sutures in lung surgery. In the proposed method, after performing the main stage of the operation, intraparenchymal puncturing with a gel substance is performed to achieve local aero- and hemostasis in the area of damaged or sutured lung tissue. The use of this technique has reduced the need for additional manipulations to eliminate the insolvency of aero- and hemostasis. The method does not take much time, while it allows you to increase the proportion of primary (after the main stage of the operation) adequate aero- and hemostasis from 75% to 94.7%.
