Large Diaphragm Defect Reconstruction Using Reverse Latissimus Dorsi Muscle Flap

Summary. Surgical treatment of bronchobiliary fistula (BBF) is difficult. A 47-year-old woman presented with a cough with yellow yielding sputum due to BBF. The patient had the adhesion of the liver, diaphragm, and lung. We performed liver, diaphragm, and lung resections. Patient had a large defect...

description Summary. Surgical treatment of bronchobiliary fistula (BBF) is difficult. A 47-year-old woman presented with a cough with yellow yielding sputum due to BBF. The patient had the adhesion of the liver, diaphragm, and lung. We performed liver, diaphragm, and lung resections. Patient had a large defect of diaphragm. Diaphragm reconstruction was performed using a pedicled reverse latissimus dorsi muscle flap. No flap necrosis was observed. Seven months after surgery, the patient did not present yellow yielding sputum and the BBF was not observed in the computed tomography. This surgical procedure was useful for treating the diaphragm defect both safely and easily. We believe that the reverse pedicled latissimus dorsi muscle flap is a reliable alternative for large diaphragm reconstruction after severe BBF.
