A simple solution for management of the postpneumonectomy empyema cavity Michael S. Kent, MD, Robert J. Korst, MD, Lloyd B. Gayle, MD, Jeffrey L. Port, MD, Nasser K. Altorki, MD The Annals of Thoracic Surgery Volume 78, Issue 3, Pages 1107-1108 (September 2004) DOI: 10.1016/j.athoracsur.2003.08.031

Fig 1 Computed tomography scan image of the large, right-sided, chest wall defect in a patient with recurrent postpneumonectomy bronchopleural fistula. The creation of this defect was necessary to facilitate packing of a persistent fungal empyema cavity. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery 2004 78, 1107-1108DOI: (10.1016/j.athoracsur.2003.08.031)

Fig 2 The empyema cavity 3 months after skin grafting. Despite complete epithelialization, the grafts retained some of their meshed appearance at this time. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery 2004 78, 1107-1108DOI: (10.1016/j.athoracsur.2003.08.031)
