  • Title: Chest wall resection and reconstruction.
    Author: Sabanathan S, Shah R, Mearns AJ, Richardson J.
    Journal: Br J Hosp Med; ; 57(6):255-9. PubMed ID: 9196567.
    Abstract:
    Chest wall reconstruction may be required after resection of malignant tumours, radiation injuries, massive trauma or infection. The ideal reconstruction should provide enough stability in the chest wall to allow adequate, spontaneous ventilation, while protecting intrathoracic organs, and be cosmetically acceptable. Recent developments have enabled the reconstruction of defects of almost any size with minimal functional disturbance.
