  • Title: [Omentopexy as the operation of choice in treating recurrent postpneumonectomy pleural empyema with a bronchopleural fistula].
    Author: Kalabukha IA.
    Journal: Klin Khir; 1999; (6):15-9. PubMed ID: 10483179.
    Abstract:
    In 6 patients with recurrent postpneumonectomy pleural empyema and bronchopleural fistula the transdiaphragmatic omentopexy for the pleural cavity remnant was performed. In 5 patients the complete remission was noted, one patient died, the death's cause was not related directly with the operation performed. The control group of 20 patients had similar pathological findings and to them conventional methods of treatment were applied. In 10 patients the remission was achieved, in 5--the bronchial fistula recurrence was noted, 5 patients died. Thus, the total clinical efficacy was 83.3 and 50% accordingly.
