Innovative Approaches to Chest Wall Reconstruction: A Comparative Study of Rigid and Flexible Techniques

Brief summary (registry, in English)

Chest wall resections, often performed for tumors, infections, or trauma, result in significant defects that require reconstruction to restore structural integrity and functionality. The chest wall, a complex dynamic structure composed of both rigid and soft tissues, plays a vital role in protecting thoracic organs and maintaining the mechanics of respiration. Reconstruction following chest wall resection is critical not only to achieve defect closure but also to preserve respiratory mechanics and minimize postoperative complications. The primary goals include providing structural support, ensuring stability, and achieving soft tissue coverage while maintaining chest wall flexibility and minimizing pain. the main objectives of this study is to compare the postoperative pain control and recovery outcomes between chest wall reconstruction using PMMA bone cement and twisted stainless steel wires in patients undergoing chest wall reconstruction and to evaluate the impact of chest wall reconstruction with steel wires versus PMMA on chest wall recoil.
