Abstract
|
|
|
Empyema with bronchopleural fistula is a serious complication after resectional surgery of the lung. Several methods in treating empyema with bronchopleural fistula have been developed, but the results were not always satisfactory. Recently,
successful
results have been reported with the surgical treatments using tissue flap(the omentum and/or the chest wall muscles)to close the bronchopleural fistula in patients with thoracic empyema. We have performed surgical procedures to treat
bronchopleural
fistula using omentum in l patient and chest wall muscles in 3 patients. Their postoperative courses were uneventful.
