  • Title: Bronchopleural fistula following laparoscopic liver resection.
    Author: Bhardwaj N, Kundra A, Garcea G.
    Journal: BMJ Case Rep; 2014 Oct 09; 2014():. PubMed ID: 25301419.
    Abstract:
    A rare case is presented of a 58-year-old woman who developed a bronchopleural fistula following a laparoscopic liver resection for a colorectal metastasis. The bronchopleural fistula was finally diagnosed when after repeated admissions for chest infections, the patient coughed up surgical clips. We propose a management plan based on our experience and hope this case report will add to the scarce reports of postoperative bronchopleural fistula cases in the literature.
