abstract="Bronchial injury is a rare and serious complication after a blunt trauma. An early management can provide complete recovery. We describe two cases of blunt bronchial injury. The two cases showed some common features, but the surgical management was different and so the courses. Indications for a surgical management of this kind of lesion are not univocal in the literature. In most of the cases, non-operative management has to be discussed for moderate lesions in high-risk surgical population. We proposed a surgical indication for severe tracheo-bronchial injury (TBI), for TBI associated to other intra-thoracic lesion and for lesion involving carinal region. Co-operation with the emergency team is necessary.<p/>",
