Abstract:Bronchial anastomotic complications are a cause of grave concern for surgeons
that perform lung transplantations. There are several risk factors that may lead
to this complication, being inadequate surgical technique one of them,
specifically regarding adequate exposure and manipulation of the bronchial stump
and anastomosis. Here we report the use of Octopus™ Tissue Stabilizer as
a mean to allow for a better exposure of the stump and facilitate a “no-touch”
approach towards anastomosis. Systematic application… Show more
