Outline of Final Research Achievements	This research aimed to develop a new thoracoscopic stapler that has both diagnostic function by palpation and resection function by flexible stapler for partial resection of lung cancer. First, we improved robustness of measurement of pressure-sensitive conductive rubber by changing structure of electrodes. We also developed a prototype of new stapler for partial resection of lung. Our stapler achieved almost the same fastening force comparing to existing surgical stapler.
