Primary repair for closed lobar bronchus injury
The Journal of Trauma
|September 1, 1978
Abstract:
Primary repair in a 19-year-old male who sustained a closed injury to the right bronchus in an auto accident was performed successfully. A 1.5-cm tear was found at operation extending from the right lower lobe bronchus into its distal portion. Nine months later, the patient showed a patent airway with minimal granulation around one suture.
