[Endoscopic management of bronchial stump fistulas with fibrin glue]

Dehiscence of bronchial trunk after lung resection is a severe complication. Beside early re-thoracotomy, in certain cases endoscopic (bronchoscopic) treatment of the bronchial fistula may be applied. In a series of patients, we used this method successfully with the help of a fibrin glue of domestic production. The method is most appropriate for fistulas of small and medium size.
