Abstract

The injuries to the bronchi have been reported with increasing frequencies. The most common cause of such injuries is compression or crushing chest trauma. Early diagnosis and emergent repair should be done for the good prognosis. We report 3 cases who had bronchial injuries after traffic accident. Our operative procedures were a primary bronchial repair for 17 months old boy, a pneumonectomy for delayed recognition and a bronchoplasty procedure 63 days after trauma. All these bronchial ruptures were successfully treated and discharged.
