Schema of limited lung resection with the Harmonic Scalpel. The top left diagram shows lung and nodule. During the video-assisted thoracic operation the lung was resected in the collapsed condition (top right). When the lung was reexpanded, the resected surfaces were comparatively inflexible compared to the surrounding tissue, so that they invaginated slightly into the lung (bottom right). The resected surface was sutured (bottom left).
