[The automatic stapling devices: a real progress in the resections of pulmonary tissue (author's transl)].

: The Authors describe their experience in the resections of pulmonary tissue performed with the use of American automatic staples TA and GIA after having illustrated the surgical techniques allowed by them, and in most use, the Authors conclude by reviewing the numerous advantages, both operatory and clinical, of the metallic suture applied by the staplers, which confirm the validity of their use in pulmonary resections.
