Bronchial fistulas made their appearance in 22 patients after pulmonectomy for different diseases of the lungs. Various methods of closing the bronchial fistulas (++trans-sternal, transpleural, contralateral ones) were used. Based on an analysis of clinical observations the authors have developed the strategy and methods of surgical measures as well as prophylactics of complications.

Background: Acquired bronchobiliary fistula (BBF) is a rare but life-threatening complication that can occur as a result of oncological processes, inflammatory reactions, parasite infections, thoracoabdominal trauma, or invasive procedures associated with iatrogenic injury. However, the potential etiology of BBF caused by instrumental issues when using ultrasonic scalpels resulting in diathermy burn and its post-burn effects has never been reported.
Case Presentation: Herein, we present a case of a 65-year-old woman who developed BBF one month after hepatectomy and presented with refractory irritating cough accompanied by yellow bitter sputum.

Respiratory tract fistulas, including tracheal and bronchial fistulas, usually cause prolonged hospitalization with developed complications and even death, while respiratory tract fistula healing remains challenging. Exploring effectiveness and mechanism in animal systems using well-designed bio-nanomaterials will improve our understanding of fistula management. Hyaluronate (hyaluronan or hyaluronic acid) has been widely studied as a promising coating material for bio-nanomaterials in treatment applications.

Article Synopsis
- The bronchopleural fistula (BPF) is a serious complication that can occur after pneumonectomy, often addressed through various surgical buttressing techniques to improve healing.
- A review of literature on this topic included 27 articles, but only 16 were suitable for analysis due to factors like small sample sizes and irrelevant surgical procedures.
- The results indicated that three studies found significant benefits of using bronchial stump buttressing to reduce BPF risk, while the rest provided descriptive statistics or assessed blood perfusion in the tissue used.
Application of pedicle combined muscle flaps in treatment of chronic empyema with huge irregular abscess cavity after pulmonary surgery: a case report and literature review.
J Cardiothorac Surg
December 2024
Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Tongde Hospital of Zhejiang Province, Hangzhou, 310012, Zhejiang, China.
Article Synopsis
- - Chronic empyema, often complicated by bronchopleural fistula (BPF) and large abscess cavities, poses significant treatment challenges and can lead to severe health issues, including cachexia.
- - A 59-year-old male patient with a history of lung cancer developed empyema and BPF after chemotherapy, requiring surgical intervention due to persistent symptoms and poor drainage results.
- - Two-stage surgical treatment utilizing pedicled combined muscle flaps to repair and fill the irregular abscess cavity showed promising outcomes, improving the patient's condition and quality of life.
The intraoperative localization in recurrent tracheoesophageal fistula after esophageal atresia repair: a comparative study.

Department of Neonatal Surgery, Beijing Children's Hospital, Capital Medical University, National Center for Children's Health, Beijing, 100045, China.
Article Synopsis
- Recurrent tracheoesophageal fistula (rTEF) is a rare but complex condition that can develop after initial esophageal atresia repair, with surgical challenges stemming from tissue adhesions and previous surgeries.
- The study introduced two new localization methods for identifying rTEF during surgery and evaluated their effectiveness compared to traditional approaches.
- Results showed that using localization techniques significantly reduced both operation time and postoperative recovery duration, leading to improved surgical outcomes for patients with rTEF.
