Abstract
A case of successful surgical repair of a complex rupture of the right bronchial system in a twenty-nine-year-old man is presented. Complete primary bronchial reconstruction and intensive postoperative care was required to provide bronchial continuity and to avoid major pulmonary resection. Problems concerning diagnosis, surgical technique, and pos toperative management are discussed. The good postoperative outcome ma y encourage bronchial repair instead of resection in complex bronchial disruptions.
