A 55 year old male with metastatic lung and liver cancer was subjected to pulmonary and hepatic resections using Microwave Tissue Coagulator (MTC). No adverse effects were observed in this patient after operation. The resected sfpecimen of the lung had the bronchioli partially accompanied with cartilages.
Coagulation for the bronchioli of at least 1mm in size, by MTC, could be carried out resulting in no air leakage after operation.
