Single Stapling of Right Upper Lobe Vein and Truncus Anterior Artery in Videothoracoscopic Lobectomy

Videothoracoscopic resections are among the mostly preferred minimally invasive thoracic surgical techniques to treat lung cancers especially in the last two decades. In thoracoscopic surgery video camera technology, high-tech equipment and surgical instruments including staplers are required. We have developed a technique for dissection and cutting of truncus anterior and right upper lobe vein in one step with stapler by this way we aimed to provide less operation time and more cost- effectiveness for right upper lobectomies.
