Delayed bronchial perforation after bulla cauterization with soft coagulation system

Abstract Background Soft coagulation is widely used for hemostasis because of its significant advantage in inducing tissue coagulation and denaturation without carbonization. However, a few cases of airway damage have been reported at the site, where soft coagulation was directly applied. Case prese...
