| Abstrakt: |
Symptomatic bronchogenic cysts should be completely resected because of uncertainties in diagnosis, to prevent recurrence, and to avoid late complications. Infrequently, these cysts may involve the proximal tracheobronchial tree. Often such cysts are incompletely excised with less than optimal results. A case of a patient with a bronchogenic cyst involving the wall of the right mainstem bronchus is presented. The cyst was completely excised and the bronchus repaired using a pedicled pericardial flap. The procedure may serve as the preferred method of reconstruction in such circumstances. |
