Abstract
|
|
|
Main bronchial injury after blunt trauma is very rare in all bronchial injuries and the pathogenesis is variable and not well known in everycases. We report a case of complete transsection of right main bronchus by blunt trauma. This 24-year old
patient
was transferred from a local hospital with a chest tube. Because of the severe subcutaneous emphysema and tension pneumothorax, we inserted one more chest tube resulting no obvious interval change. With the impression of bronchial injury, we
performed
an exploratory thoracotomy. We couldn't proceed bronchoscopy in the operation room because of his unstable vital sign. After opening of the chest wall, we could identify completely transsected right main bronchus. We anastomosed the bronchus with
4~0
Vicryl interruptedly. After operation, the patient was recovered without any complication.
