Abstract
Surgical closure of a bronchopleural fistula following right penumonectomy for squamous cell carcinoma was achieved with monomeric n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate. Previous attempts at closure by conservative and endoscopic means were unsuccessful. Tissue adhesives are useful in the surgical or endoscopic management of bronchopleural fistula.This publication has 17 references indexed in Scilit:
