The precise resection and suture of bronchia, vascular and pulmonary tissue are the key techniques in thoracic surgery. Mechanical suture technique has gradually become a routine operation in thoracic surgery. However, at present, there is still a lack of consensus and guidelines on the application of this technique in thoracic surgery, neither strong evidence-based medical support. In this study, we discuss the application standard of mechanical suture technique in thoracoscopic surgery, irregular treatment techniques, intraoperative complications, and management principles to promote the standardized application of mechanical suture technique. We also explain the shortcomings of the technique in order to promote the further improvement and perfection.
