Pedicled omentum filling
Filling the thoracic cavity with a great omentum with a vascular pedicle is effective in treating chronic empyema and bronchopleural fistula. The omentum is rich in blood circulation, has strong regeneration ability, and has absorption functions. It is easy to adhere to surrounding tissues and form extensive collateral circulation, which can make surgery successful.
