Use the bulla for pneumostasis.
Prolonged air leak following bullectomy is a common problem and increases the morbidity of the procedure and hence the hospital stay for patients.

We report the use of the wall of the resected bulla as a sealant material to achieve pneumostasis with stapler/suture reinforcement, with good results.
