Chest Wall Reconstruction Using Biomaterials
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2013Skeletal chest wall reconstruction can be a challenge, depending on the indication, location, and health of the patient; various materials are available. Recently, biomaterials that are remodelable (bovine pericardium patch; Veritas, Synovis Life Technologies Inc, St Paul, MN) or absorbable (polylactic acid [PLA] bar; BioBridge, Acute Innovations ...

Reconstruction of the Chest Wall
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1981Reconstruction of the chest wall can now be accomplished reliably and expeditiously. Past experience with local flaps and split-thickness skin grafts recommends their continued use when appropriate. Recent studies in blood flow have demonstrated that very large muscles with or without the overlying skin can be moved primarily and reliably.

Reconstruction of the Chest Wall
Scandinavian Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 1970Three cases of large chest wall defects necessitating reconstructive procedures, are described. Two of them followed radical resection of chondro-sarcomas and one after earlier unorthodox thoracotomy. A reconstructive technique including costal grafts (homo- or auto-grafts), two layers of fascia lata or dacron nets and bone-chips, is presented and ...

Fetal tissue engineering: chest wall reconstruction
Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 2003This study was aimed at applying fetal tissue engineering to chest wall reconstruction.Fetal lambs underwent harvest of elastic and hyaline cartilage specimens. Once expanded in vitro, fetal chondrocytes were seeded onto synthetic scaffolds, which then were placed in a bioreactor.

This chapter summarizes the various surgical treatment options that can be used to restore the integrity of the chest wall after trauma or tumor resection and to assist with wound healing problems associated with infection and radiation therapy. Emphasis is placed on several considerations for patients undergoing chest wall reconstruction.

Prosthetic Reconstruction of the Chest Wall
Thoracic Surgery Clinics, 2017Large chest wall resections can result in skeletal instability, altered respiratory mechanics, and significant cosmetic defects. Here the authors review a variety of prostheses that can be used to reconstruct these defects, the indications for their use, the technique for implantation, and the available data regarding their clinical outcomes.

Reconstruction of complex chest wall defects
The American Journal of Surgery, 1996Reconstruction of complex chest wall defects represents a major challenge and requires close cooperation between the cardiothoracic and reconstructive surgeon to achieve an optimal outcome and reduce the incidence of complications. The principles of chest wall reconstruction include control of infection, local wound care, wide debridement of all ...

Cryopreserved biomaterials for chest wall reconstruction
Multimedia Manual of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 2009Cryopreserved materials have characteristics which make them suitable for use in chest wall reconstruction. This contribution depicts the use of a cryopreserved bone homograft as a neosternum in conjunction with other materials to preserve anatomo-functional integrity and protect inner viscera.

Reconstruction of Chest Wall Defects
The Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgeon, 1991A series of 61 consecutive procedures of chest wall resection and reconstruction in 58 patients during the period between August, 1986 and December, 1990 is reported. The ages ranged between 6-77 years. The chest wall resection was indicated for malignant affections in 54 cases.
