Bronchiolar-pleural fistulas are a frequent complication of thoracic surgery. Current treatment strategies and their invasiveness are quiet different, but often surgeons decide for a new surgical intervention and definitive closure of the breach.

We discuss actual indications for PLR-G as well as its possible role in thoracic surgery.
