AIM: In this study, we report our experience on immediate reconstruction after resection of primary or metastatic chest wall tumors, to restore protective function and elasticity of chest or sternum.
METHODS: Between 2005 and 2009, 22 patients underwent reconstruction using a free or pedicled flap combined, or not, to alloplastic materials (Goretex®) in order to cover full-thickness defects of the chest wall after cancer surgery. Reconstruction was immediate in all cases.
RESULTS: Mean follow-up was 27 months. Of these, 18 patients were alive at the end of the study (81.5%). Eighteen patients had malignant tumors (82%); within these patients, 12 were alive without recurrence at the end of the study (67%). The average size of the chest wall defect was 255 cm². Goretex® Mesh was used in 8 patients. All patients benefited from reconstruction with a flap: pedicled or free latissimus dorsi flap (n = 15), pedicled great omentum (n=3), deep inferior epigastric perforator free flap (n = 3), and parascapular pedicled flap (n=1).
CONCLUSION: In this series, we were able to achieve long-term palliation and even cure in some patients by resecting full-thickness chest wall in local primary or recurrence of breast cancer without increasing morbidity. The same process was used successfully in association with adjuvant treatment in other tumors like skin sarcoma. We have followed a surgical algorithm according to the tumor localization and etiology.
