Abstract

Gastropleural fistula is a rare complication of prior lung surgery, gastric ulcer, trauma and malignancy. A 62 year old female patient who had received surgical repair of a perforated gastric wall 10 years prior, underwent open pleural decortication. At 4 days after surgery, food residuums were noticed at the chest bottles. Hence, an emergency esophagogram was done. The esophagogram revealed a gastropleural fistula. The patient received a total gastrectomy, intra-abdominal diaphragmatic repair and massive thoracic saline irrigation through a previous thoracic wound. The patient was discharged 11 days after surgery without other morbidity.

위늑막루는 이전의 폐수술 병력, 위궤양의 합병증, 외상, 악성종양 등에 의해 일어날 수 있는 흔하지 않은 합병증이다. 10년전에 위장천공의 외과적 봉합술을 받았던 62세 여자 환자로 좌측 농흉이 발생하여 개흉하에 흉막 박피술을 시행하였다. 수술 후 4일째, 음식물이 흉관을 통해서 배액 되어서 응급 위식도 조영술을 시행하였다. 위식도 조영술상 위늑막루를 발견하였다. 환자는 위전절제술 및 횡경막 봉합을 시행하고, 이전의 흉부창상을 통해 흉강을 세척하였다. 특별한 문제 없이 수술 후 11일째 퇴원하였다.
