An Evaluation of Automatic Suture with UKL-60 and UKL-40 Devices by Pulmonary Resection

Alfred Goldman M.D., F.C.C.P.1

1 Thoracic Surgical Service, Cedars of Lebanon Division, Cedars-Sinai Hospital, Los Angeles, California

1. Auto-suture for surgical control of hilar and parenchymal structures in pulmonary resection for a variety of diseases of the chest has proved to be quite satisfactory in the 60 consecutive patients reported, and we now have this instrument available for all pulmonary resections.

2. It is versatile enough to satisfy the surgical needs for most of the numerous conditions that arise during pulmonary resections.

3. Auto-suture lends itself to the extension of pulmonary surgery into new areas—for example, simultaneous bilateral pulmonary resection.

4. Healing at the suture line is enhanced by the compressive nature of auto-suture as compared with the necrotizing nature of classic methods.
