Video-assisted Thoracic Surgery for Main Bronchial Rupture After Blunt Chest Trauma in Children.
The Annals of thoracic surgery(2022)
Abstract
Main bronchial rupture caused by blunt chest trauma is a rare injury, especially in children. Treatment is traditionally performed through an open thoracotomy, which increases the risk of musculoskeletal deformity in growing children. Video-assisted thoracic surgery has emerged as a feasible minimally invasive approach for main bronchial rupture, with lower perioperative mortality. This report demonstrates that video-assisted thoracic surgery can be safely performed for main bronchial rupture in children.
