ABSTRACT
Experience of application of nonsuture electrowelding technologies (NEWT) was analyzed while performing open and miniinvasive thoracoscopic operations in 116 patients. No essential differences were revealed while comparing domestic and foreign electrowelding surgical instruments. Possibility of wide application of NEWT in miniinvasive videothoracoscopic surgery was demonstrated.

Experience of videothoracoscopic pulmonary resection, using nonsuture electrowelding technology in 42 patients, was summarized. Using such technology application have guaranteed the lowering of prime cost of endoscopic intervention, in several patients it made possible to avoid a mechanical suturing application. After the operation all the patients are alive, the morbidity rate was 7.1%, a stationary treatment of a patient have constituted 5.7 days at average.
