Experience with 5 free flaps, 1 TRAM and 4 latissimus dorsi flaps, transferred intrathoracically for the management of chronic sepsis is described. Healing and elimination of sepsis was achieved in all cases despite the infection being resistant to all previous more traditional forms of treatment including thoracoplasty. The results were achieved with minimal morbidity and argue for the early consideration of free flaps in the management of chronic intrathoracic sepsis in appropriate circumstances. A review of the limited available literature concerning this topic is presented.
本文描述了5例游离皮瓣、1例横行腹直肌肌皮瓣和4例背阔肌肌皮瓣经胸腔内转移用于治疗慢性脓毒症的经验。尽管感染对包括胸廓成形术在内的所有先前更传统的治疗形式均耐药，但所有病例均实现了愈合和脓毒症的消除。结果是以最小的发病率取得的，这表明在适当情况下，应尽早考虑使用游离皮瓣治疗慢性胸腔内脓毒症。本文还对有关该主题的有限现有文献进行了综述。
