Abstract:
Because specimen removal is often required during video-assisted thoracic surgery, an easily produced, simple-to-use and cost-effective endobag is necessary to avoid wound metastasis. However, commercial endobags are expensive. Here I describe a homemade automatically opening, cost-effective, safe and easily produced endobag for video-assisted thoracic surgery that is suitable for use in low-income locations with limited health budgets.
