title: Combination gastric seromuscular patch and omental pedicle flap for bronchial fistula.
abstract: We report the successful closure of a recurrent bronchial fistula using a combination gastric seromuscular patch and omental pedicle flap. This new method provided an immediate airtight closure of the bronchial fistula. This technique appears superior to closure by omentum alone.
