  • Title: Treatment of empyema by transposition of contralateral lower trapezius flap.
    Author: Watanabe H, Imaizumi M, Takeuchi S, Murase M, Hasegawa T.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 1997 Mar; 63(3):837-9. PubMed ID: 9066414.
    Abstract:
    We report the successful treatment of bronchopleural fistula and empyema using transposition of a contralateral lower trapezius musclocutaneous flap, which provided immediate obliteration of the middle-back empyema cavity. This technique is easy to perform without any intraoperative change of position and with little postoperative impairment of the back and shoulder movement.
