We have devised a 'Fold Plication Method', which helps ensure safe and simple lung volume reduction surgery (LVRS) for pulmonary emphysema and prevent air leakage from pulmonary stumps, which is most crucial problem, in addition to postoperative interstitial pneumonia that is occasionally caused by the use of the bovine pericardium. We performed LVRS on seven patients with the disease, using this method and the thoracoscopic surgery, which is based on the 'Two Windows Method' we had previously developed. The operation was performed without observable bleeding within approximately one hour for all patients, who then recovered favorably.
