Abstract

SUMMARY An experimental study was undertaken to evaluate the relative merits of closure of the bronchial stump following lobectomy by means of interrupted silk sutures, Eastman 910 monomer, and Eastman 910 adhesive. Results indicate that suture closure is easier from a technical standpoint and is safer than closure with either the monomer or the adhesive.
