  • Title: [Bronchus insufficiency: prevention and therapy].
    Author: Koryllos A, Ludwig C, Beckers F, Stoelben E.
    Journal: Zentralbl Chir; 2012 Jun; 137(3):223-7. PubMed ID: 22711321.
    Abstract:
    In order to achieve respectable postoperative outcomes after lung resection it is essential to understand the mechanism of bronchus healing. The bronchus seal should be air-tight and consist of monofilament suture or staples. The bronchus suture should be covered with vital tissue (lung, mediastinum, muscle flap). A complication in the process of bronchus healing should be diagnosed as early as possible in order to stop the destructive effect of the infection as rapidly as possible.
