According to the reporter, during a laparoscopic video pleuroscopy, during pleura clipping, after the surgeon pushed the green button and went to activate, the trigger handle made a sounding noise, as if the stapler was going to break, and the charge that was in the stapler did not fire, no longer performing the clipping.A new stapler and reload were used to resolve the issue.There was no patient injury.
