Skin necrosis is a rare complication after thoracomyoplasty and usually needs conservative treatment. We described positive findings with surgical approach. A 54-year-old man showed bronchopleural fistula after undergoing right pneumonectomy for lung cancer, treated with thoracomyoplasty. On the 20th postoperative day, a skin wound lesion was noted, whose deterioration required a skin flap transposition. Patient was discharged from hospital on the 7th postoperative day and did not show relapse at the 7th year follow-up. Surgery can be the most viable alternative to medical treatments in the management of a chest wall cutaneous complication even in high-risk patients.
皮肤坏死是胸廓成形术后一种罕见的并发症,通常需要保守治疗。我们描述了手术治疗的阳性结果。一名54岁男性因肺癌接受右肺切除术后出现支气管胸膜瘘,接受了胸廓成形术治疗。术后第20天,发现皮肤伤口病变,其恶化需要进行皮瓣转移术。患者术后第7天出院,在7年随访中未出现复发。即使对于高危患者,手术也可能是治疗胸壁皮肤并发症最可行的替代医学治疗的方法。
