Abstract
Postpneumonectomy empyema is one of the most difficult complications for the thoracic surgeon to treat. We report herein a case of a 62 year old diabetic man who developed empyema 13 years after a pneumonectomy for cancer, which was successfully treated using an omental pedicle flap. Postoperatively, the chest would healed uneventfully, however, a bowel obstruction developed which was subsequently treated by removing the remnant omentum that had adhered to the bowel.
