Abstract

The optimal surgical reconstruction of chest wall defects especially in the context of posttraumatic, oncological and congenital etiologies has a large impact on the recovery of the patients. Regardless of the etiology, various complications, such as a generally impaired respiratory physiology in an unstable thorax or decreased pulmonary clearance associated with acute and chronic pulmonary infections, may impair the recovery of affected patients. The postoperative occurrence of an intrathoracic dead space may lead to a difficult to treat empyema. Each thoracic wall defect must be accurately assessed and treated according to size, depth and location on the chest. The complexity of this condition and the resulting complications require the highest degree of surgical care which should be interdisciplinary both preoperatively and postoperatively.
