Intercostal muscle flap to protect the bronchial stump in pediatric lobectomy for lung abscess.
Lung suppurative diseases in children are usually responsive to medical treatment or percutaneous drainage. Rarely, pulmonary resection is required for lung abscess in childhood, particularly in presence of co-morbidities. In these cases, a lobectomy is usually performed through an open thoracotomy, with a reported incidence of bronco-pleural fistula up to 9.1% of pediatric series. This consequ...
متن کاملHeterotrophic Ossification of Intercostal Muscle Flap Causing Refractory Esophageal Stricture
Upper endoscopy showed stenosis of the esophageogastric anastamosis precluding the passage of a diagnostic gastroscope. There was no evidence of tumor recurrence. Balloon dilation was performed using a through-the-scope dilating balloon. The patient underwent multiple dilatations over the next 2 months (every 2 weeks), up to a diameter of 16.5 mm. However, the patient’s symptoms recurred rapidl...
متن کاملBronchial stump reinforcement with an azygous vein flap
Bronchial stump reinforcement has been shown to significantly reduce the incidence of bronchopleural fistulas. Various coverage techniques have been described in the literature. While the azygous vein flap is an easy, safe and effective reinforcement option for right-sided bronchial stumps, the flap is not widely adopted, with little mention in the literature, partly due to surgeons' uneasiness...
متن کاملComplex tracheal lesion: correction with an intercostal muscle pedicle flap.
Esophageal reconstruction is one of the most complex types of gastrointestinal surgery, principally when it is performed using minimally invasive techniques. The procedure is associated with various complications, such as anastomotic dehiscence, chylothorax, esophageal necrosis and fistulae. We report the case of a patient diagnosed with epidermoid carcinoma in the distal third of the esophagus...
متن کاملOssification of an intercostal flap after carinal resection: long-term concerns of a 'protection maneuver'.
This CT-scan shows an ossification of the flap of two intercostal muscles 6 months after a carinal resection with reconstruction of the tracheo-bronchial tree using the Barclay’s technique in a 39-year-old patient with a lowerthird tracheal adenoid cystic carcinoma. Some degree of stenosis can also be seen at the level of the right main bronchus. A stent was placed but migrated. The picture is ...
