A Traction Diverticulum of the Esophagus Complicated with Empyema After Pneumonectomy
초록
This is a case report of surgically treated esophageal traction diverticulum which was resulted from postpneumonectomy empyema. In March, 1976, left lower lobectomy and thoracoplasty were performed at a hospital to treat long standing lung abscess, after operation it developed into empyema. One year later [April, 1977], We did decortication and left upper lobectomy[ultimate pneumonectomy], which was followed by empyema again, 3 months later it developed esophagopleurocutaneous fistula. Esophagograms bowed an adult thumb tip sized traction diverticulum in the midportion of the esophagus. Finally in January, 1978, after 6 months of gastrostomy feeding, fistulectomy and diverticulectomy were performed The funnel shaped diverticulum was in midesophagus and retracted by surrounding inflammatory scar tissue. Now the postoperative course was uneventful.
