Advances and safe use of energy devices in lung cancer surgery.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

A clear understanding of energy devices would help achieve high effectiveness and safety and guide the selection of devices. The present review aimed to elucidate the efficacy and adverse events of energy devices in lung cancer to guide the selection of appropriate devices depending on the situation.

Methods

Four major databases were searched electronically for relevant articles published until 16 April 2021. The reference lists of the identified papers were examined. We excluded (1) irrelevant studies, (2) manuscripts published in languages other than English and Japanese, (3) duplicates, and (4) studies for which the full text was not available in the databases. The results and key information obtained were summarized by means of a narrative approach.
