[Methods for aerostasis in pulmonary surgery].

Insufficient intraopertive aerostasis is a serious, actual, and yet unsolved problem of pulmonary surgery. It is a frequent cause for the development of postoperative complications that compromise the results of surgery. The authors investigate the development and modification of the contemporary surgical methods for aerostasis--surgical techniques for suturing the lung parenchyma, additional methods for buttressing and hermetization of the suture line, parietal pleurectomy, tissue glues, and fibrine adhesives. The advantages and disadvantages of the different methods for aerostasis are analyzed and their rationality and efficacy in various surgical conditions are discussed.
