Overview

Authors point out a possibility of improving operative results in thoracic surgery with acute state. They prove it with two groups of patients, where preoperative complications are anticipated. The first group consists of the patients with thorax injury and the second group consists of the patients with relapsing pneumothorax. With a blunt thorax injury is the surgical treatment often performed on blood-soaked pulmonary tissue or on parenchyma affected by ARDS. A necessary stapler suture during an atypical reaction is accompanied by bleeding or air-leak from the resected area. To reinforce the suture, there are used various materials for staplers to utilize a padding effect. Sometimes is necessary to use tissue sealants to prevent the air-leak. Traumacel Stapler Seam Protection meets requirements on the stapler suture reinforcement and, moreover, due to its bactericidal and haemostatic effects helps the tissue healing.

Key words:
Traumacel Stapler Seam Protection – thoracic surgery – pneumothorax – COPD
