  • Title: The use of an omental pedicle flap in the closure of bronchopleural fistulae.
    Author: Perianayagam WJ, Booshanam MV, Muralidharan S, Jairaj PS, John S.
    Journal: Aust N Z J Surg; 1980 Apr; 50(2):204-6. PubMed ID: 6930243.
    Abstract:
    Two recurrent bronchopleural fistulae in patients in whom previous intercostal myoplasty had failed were successfully closed by an omental pedicle flap and a bucket-handle flap slide over the omentum. The original procedure in both was left lower lobectomy. The advantages of the procedure are its simplicity, the absence of cosmetic defect, and its suitability for left lower or lingular bronchopleural fistulae when other procedures have failed.
