Surgical Resection of Giant Chest Wall Chondrosarcoma Combined with Sandwich Chest Wall Reconstruction in One Case

CONCLUSION: The radical surgery of giant chest wall chondrosarcoma often leads to a large range of chest wall defects. Chest wall reconstruction needs to be carried out at the same time to restore the integrity and stability of the chest wall, to avoid chest wall softening and abnormal breathing, and to ensure the stability of respiratory circulation. Using the "sandwich" method for chest wall reconstruction, in which an anatomical plate is combined with hernia mesh and muscle soft tissue, and during which pleura, bony structure, and soft tissues are reconstructed, can provide more effective support for chest wall soft tissue, effectively prevent postoperative muscle tissue collapse, avoid postoperative abnormal breathing, and promote the recovery of postoperative upper limb function and lung function. It is a very effective method for chest wall reconstruction.PMID:38684505 | DOI:10.62713/aic.3148
