  • Title: [Functionally satisfying reconstruction of a combined abdominal, chest wall and diaphragmatic defect with corium following sternum tumor resection].
    Author: Piza-Katzer H, Appel WH, Kotz R, Wagner O.
    Journal: Chirurg; 1983 Mar; 54(3):157-60. PubMed ID: 6222889.
    Abstract:
    In a patient, suffering from a chondrosarcoma in the lower sternum, and having undergone radical tumor resection, we had to reconstruct the thoracic wall, the abdominal wall, and the diaphragm. This was done with autologous corium. We report on the advantages of this material and at the same time refer to that of a complete physiologic reconstruction of the diaphragmatic dome seems impossible if accompanied by defects of the thorax and the abdominal wall. Fitting a corset appears necessary as an external support.
