Abstract
We report the successful treatment of bronchopleural fistula and empyema using transposition of a contralateral lower trapezius musclocutaneous flap, which provided immediate obliteration of the middle-back empyema cavity. This technique is easy to perform without any intraoperative change of position and with little postoperative impairment of the back and shoulder movement.Entities:
