Abstract
We describe a simple technique of controlling air leakage from the lung parenchyma using BiClamp(®). The device creates appropriate protein coagulation at an air leakage point of the lung parenchyma. The leakage point and adjacent area are grasped with BiClamp(®) forceps and coagulated without tissue carbonization. After the procedure, no air leakage was recognized under airway pressure test of 15-20 cmH(2)O. This method is easy to handle, especially in video-assisted thoracic surgery lobectomy with an economical advantage as "Ecosurgery".
