Abstract

BACKGROUND:

The purpose of the current study was to investigate the most effective diagnostic method and the effect of surgical treatment on traumatic main bronchial rupture.

METHODS:

Chest X-rays, CT and fiberoptic bronchoscopy were the main means used to confirm the diagnosis. Surgery was performed as early as possible.

RESULTS:

Pneumonectomy was performed in 1 patient. Bronchial end-to-end anastomosis was performed in 10 patients whose lungs were well ventilated, and lung function recovered.

CONCLUSION:

Main bronchial rupture occurs relatively rarely. Early diagnosis and operative intervention can save lives.
