Introduction to chest wall reconstruction: anatomy and physiology of the chest and indications for chest wall reconstruction.

Project description:The chest wall functions as a protective cage around the vital organs of the body, and significant disruption of its structure can have dire respiratory and circulatory consequences. The past several decades have seen a marked improvement in the management and reconstruction of complex chest wall defects. Widespread acceptance of muscle and musculocutaneous flaps such as the latissimus dorsi, pectoralis major, serratus anterior, and rectus abdominis has led to a sharp decrease in infections and mortality. Successful reconstructions are dependent upon a detailed knowledge of the functional anatomy and blood supply of the chest and the underlying pathophysiology of a particular disease process. This article will provide an overview of key principles and evidence-based approaches to chest wall reconstruction.

Management of congenital chest wall deformities.

Project description:Congenital chest wall deformities are considered to be anomalies in chest wall growth. These can be categorized as either rib cage overgrowth or deformities related to inadequate growth (aplasia or dysplasia). Rib cage overgrowth leads to depression of the sternum (pectus excavatum) or protuberance of the sternum (pectus carinatum) and accounts for greater than 90% of congenital chest wall deformities. The remaining deformities are a result of inadequate growth. Evolution in the management of congenital chest wall deformities has made significant progress over the past 25 years. This article will review chest wall deformities and the current management strategies of these interesting anomalies.

Uncommon flaps for chest wall reconstruction.

Project description:The omentum, external oblique musculocutaneous, and thoracoepigastric flaps are uncommonly used for chest wall reconstruction. Nevertheless, awareness and knowledge of these flaps is essential for reconstructive surgeons because they fill specific niche indications or serve as lifeboats when workhorse flaps are unavailable. The current report describes the anatomic basis, technical aspects of flap elevation, and indications for these unusual flaps.

Microsurgical chest wall reconstruction after oncologic resections.

Project description:Defect reconstruction after radical oncologic resection of malignant chest wall tumors requires adequate soft tissue reconstruction with function, stability, integrity, and an aesthetically acceptable result of the chest wall. The purpose of this article is to describe possible reconstructive microsurgical pathways after full-thickness oncologic resections of the chest wall. Several reliable free flaps are described, and morbidity and mortality rates of patients are discussed.

Anterior chest wall resection and sternal body wedge for primary chest wall tumour: reconstruction technique with biological meshes and titanium plates.

Project description:Chest wall tumours are heterogeneous neoplasms, either primary or metastatic, with a malignancy rate of 50%. Surgical resection is one of the mainstays of the treatment, however, chest wall resections can be particularly challenging depending onto the resection size, site and patient habitus. The surgical strategy should be carefully analysed preoperatively, keeping in mind the need of an oncological radical resection (R0) in accordance to the reconstruction principles elicited by le Roux and Sherma since 1983, which include restoring the chest wall rigidity, preserving pulmonary mechanics, protect the intrathoracic organs, avoiding paradox movements of the chest cavity and, possibly, to reduce the thoracic deformity. In this context, we herewith report our surgical reconstruction technique following an anterior chest wall resection and sternal body wedge for a primary chest wall tumour (chondrosarcoma).

Complications, pitfalls, and outcomes after chest wall reconstruction.

Project description:Chest wall and mediastinal wounds may be life-threatening. Although modern reconstruction methods with various muscle flaps have reduced morbidity and mortality, chest wall reconstruction presents unique challenges. Major categories of adverse outcomes include (1) persistent infection; (2) interference with respiratory mechanics; (3) functional deficits of the shoulder; and (4) hernias. Persistent infection may be resolved by providing coverage via muscle or omental flap, performing thorough debridement, filling the "dead space" with adequate volume, buttressing repair of visceral fistulae, and covering exposed prosthetic material with vascularized flaps. Potential deficits in respiratory mechanics and shoulder function may be avoided by stabilizing the chest wall skeleton and decreasing donor muscle functional loss. Hernias may be minimized by maintaining visceral "right of domain" to the chest and abdominal cavities. Complex reconstructive cases represent an intricate interplay of physiology, structural protection, and aesthetic considerations and require integration of several management principles.

An axillofemoral bypass graft transgressing the chest wall.

Project description:Explantation of an infected patent vascular graft does not necessarily require concomitant revascularization procedures. The need for revascularization can be determined by a trial cross-clamping of the graft and clinical assessment of limb perfusion. We report a case of an infected axillofemoral graft transgressing the chest wall in a surgically high risk patient.

Lung Volume Reduction in Emphysema Improves Chest Wall Asynchrony.

Project description:Lung volume reduction (LVR) techniques improve lung function in selected patients with emphysema, but the impact of LVR procedures on the asynchronous movement of different chest wall compartments, which is a feature of emphysema, is not known.We used optoelectronic plethysmography to assess the effect of surgical and bronchoscopic LVR on chest wall asynchrony. Twenty-six patients were assessed before and 3 months after LVR (surgical [n = 9] or bronchoscopic [n = 7]) or a sham/unsuccessful bronchoscopic treatment (control subjects, n = 10). Chest wall volumes were divided into six compartments (left and right of each of pulmonary ribcage [Vrc,p], abdominal ribcage [Vrc,a], and abdomen [Vab]) and phase shift angles (?) calculated for the asynchrony between Vrc,p and Vrc,a (?RC), and between Vrc,a and Vab (?DIA).Participants had an FEV? of 34.6 ± 18% predicted and a residual volume of 217.8 ± 46.0% predicted with significant chest wall asynchrony during quiet breathing at baseline (?RC, 31.3° ± 38.4°; and ?DIA, -38.7° ± 36.3°). Between-group difference in the change in ?RC and ?DIA during quiet breathing following treatment was 44.3° (95% CI, -78 to -10.6; P = .003) and 34.5° (95% CI, 1.4 to 67.5; P = .007) toward 0° (representing perfect synchrony), respectively, favoring the LVR group. Changes in ?RC and ?DIA were statistically significant on the treated but not the untreated sides.Successful LVR significantly reduces chest wall asynchrony in patients with emphysema.
