  • Title: Bronchial flap closure of the right lower lobe bronchus.
    Author: McGregor RJ, West D, Walker WS.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 2009 Nov; 88(5):1712-3. PubMed ID: 19853155.
    Abstract:
    We describe a novel method for closure of the bronchus intermedius, after right lower lobectomy, using a flap derived from the lower lobe apical segmental bronchus. We have successfully used this technique in an endobronchial carcinoid tumor occurring in a young man. It allowed middle lobe preservation despite a very proximal tumor position within the basal trunk bronchus. Adequate tumor margins were confirmed by on-table frozen section examination. This technique may have particular use in carcinoids or benign tumors.
