The use of limited resection for lung cancer has increased with the accumulation of knowledge about early lung cancer. To decrease locoregional recurrence after a limited resection, it is important to confirm R0 resection at the true resection margin. In this study, we report a novel linear stapler that preserves the true resection margin tissue after organ resection.
