Se presentan dos casos de fístula broncopleural post-neumonectomia con dehiscencia total de la sutura, tratadas quirúrgicamente a través de esternotomía media al mes y los 26 meses de la neumonectomía.

La indicación es excepcional pero presenta entre otras las siguientes ventajas: se aborda el bronquio por tejido sano, es una cirugía radical y mejoría subjetiva inmediata.

The authors present two cases of bronchopleural fistula following pneumectomy, in which the sutures became totally dissolved. Medical sternotomy was performed for repair of the fistulas at one month and 26 months after pneumectomy. The transsternal approach offers several advantages: the bronchial tree is approached through healthy tissue, surgery is radical and there is immediate subjective improvement.
