A 59-year-old male was performed right pneumonectomy with R 2 b lymph node dissection and intercostal muscle flap to the bronchial stump for squamous cell carcinoma of right upper lobe of the lung (cT 2 N 2 M 0-stage III A). But four weeks later bronchial stump was suddenly reopened and he developed empyema. Omentopexy for bronchopleural fistula (15 x 11 mm in size) and thoracoplasty for empyema was performed. Bronchoscopically the fistula is 2 mm in diameter and reepithelization is started around the fistula at 14 POD and the fistula is completely closed and covered with reepithelized mucosa without inflammation at 100 POD. We think omentopexy for bronchopleural fistula after pneumonectomy is very effective procedure, so we should be considered this method at first. But if the fistula is accompanying empyema as our case thoracoplasty should be added.
