Comparative Study on Different Bone Reconstruction After Chest Wall Tumor Resection

Plain-language summary

Chest wall tumors are one of the important diseases in thoracic surgery, and surgery is still the main treatment for this disease in clinical practice. Surgery for chest wall tumors requires extensive resection. However, the extensive chest wall defect formed after extensive resection can lead to the destruction of the integrity and stability of the chest wall, thus requiring chest wall reconstruction. The reconstruction of the chest wall after resection has always been a difficult point in chest wall tumor surgery, and the reconstruction of the chest wall bone is a key point in chest wall reconstruction. The goals of successful chest wall bone reconstruction include restoring chest wall rigidity, minimizing chest wall deformities, maintaining lung mechanics, and protecting thoracic organs. At present, traditional reconstruction methods are based on simulating and restoring the anatomical structure of the thoracic spine. For certain special areas of chest wall defects (such as posterior rib and paraspinal tumors), it is difficult to perform residual fixation; At the same time, traditional reconstruction methods suffer from insufficient stability after reconstruction, such as loosening, detachment, displacement, and even fracture. Therefore, it is necessary to design new chest wall reconstruction methods to meet clinical needs.
