Sponsor's own description
Prolonged air leak is reported in up to 60 to 75% of patients after lung operation in the presence of severe lung emphysema. The effect of the non-powered AEONTM Endostapler as compared to the Echelon FlexTM Powered plus stapler on the volume and duration of air leak and on the time to chest drain removal after lung operation in the presence of severe lung emphysema will be investigated in a randomized, prospective, single-blinded clinical trial.
