Abstract
We report the successful closure of a complicated bronchocutaneous fis tula using a pedicled jejunal nap. The fistula, secondary to tuberculo sis and irradiation, previously had been dosed with a latissimus dorsi musculocutaneous flap. This initial repair failed. The recurrent fist ulas were closed again using a jejunal seromuscular nap, and the chest wall defect was reconstructed with a rectus abdominis musculocutaneou s flap.
