First, the absorptive sheet soaked in fibrinogen was trimmed into a rectangular shape and placed over the contiguous lobes in a bridging manner with an intraoperative inflated respiratory condition after pulmonary resection. Next, liquid thrombin was placed drop-wise onto the sheet, followed by fibrinogen and thrombin, which were sprayed together to adhere to each other more tightly. This fixation was performed in three locations for a few minutes.
