Francesco Inzirillo, Claudio Della Pona.


Abstract
Each branch of surgery has its chronic complications that represent a disruption in the daily life of the patient and a wound in the pride of the Surgeon who failed to prevent the complication and often fails to remedy it.

Key words: bronchial fistula, thoracic surgery, Open Window Thoracostomy
