The Impact of Endoscopic Linear Stapling Device Stability in Thoracic Surgery: A Delphi Panel Approach by Daniel Miller, Diego Gonzalez Rivas, Kellie L. Meyer, Ryan S. Clark, Tadasu Kohno

“…Panelists unanimously agreed that: 1) an endoscopic linear stapling device with improved stability would result in less stress/concern for critical firings, surgeries where a fellow is trained, and robot-assisted surgeries requiring an assistant; 2) reduced unintentional tissue/structure damage and reduced tension on tissue being fired upon may result from use of an endoscopic linear stapling device that provides improvement in stability; and 3) endoscopic linear stapling device stability had more clinical importance in video-assisted thoracic surgery compared to open thoracic surgery. …”
