Application of the "continuous suture dividing and equal suture tightening" method in video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery sleeve lobectomy.

Conclusions: The continuous suture dividing and equal suture tightening method is convenient, feasible, and safe for bronchial anastomosis in VATS sleeve lobectomy. It can effectively avoid the entanglement of the suture threads, thereby enabling the widespread adoption of VATS sleeve lobectomy. PMID: 30416767 [PubMed]
