    This study details the successful plastic reconstruction of a bronchus following blunt thoracic trauma. Surgical repair restored lung function, improving oxygenation after severe bronchial stenosis.

    Area of Science:

    • Thoracic Surgery
    • Pulmonary Medicine
    • Trauma Surgery

    Background:

    • Blunt thoracic trauma can cause bronchial rupture, leading to delayed complications.
    • Initial management of pneumothorax may mask underlying bronchial injury.
    • Progressive bronchial stenosis can result in significant respiratory compromise.

    Observation:

    • A 16-year-old patient presented with right stem bronchial rupture after blunt trauma.
    • Initial pneumothorax treatment was successful, but later developed bronchial occlusion and atelectasis.
    • Pre- and post-operative respiratory function tests, blood gas analyses, and pulmonary scintigrams were conducted.

    Findings:

    • Plastic reconstruction of the stenotic bronchus was performed 6.5 weeks after injury.
    • Post-operative assessments at 12 weeks indicated improved respiratory function and hematosis.

  • Literature review supports surgical intervention for traumatic bronchial rupture and stenosis.

    • Implications:

    • Surgical repair of traumatic bronchial stenosis is a viable treatment option.
    • Restoration of bronchial patency can lead to satisfactory lung function and gas exchange.
    • This case highlights the importance of recognizing and managing delayed complications of thoracic trauma.
