Innovative Technique of Chest Wall Reconstruction After Extensive Tumour Ablation Surgery.

Chest wall reconstruction is among one of the most challenging surgeries because the defect comprises multiple components and each needs to be reconstructed separately with like tissues. Chest wall reconstruction ranges from simple skin cover to complex bony and or mediastinal/precordial reconstruction. Various methods of reconstruction include autologous as well alloplastic techniques. Autologous techniques include regional or distant flaps with or without bone. Whereas alloplastic techniques include the placement of a variety of implant materials like titanium plate/mesh, stainless steel mesh, medpore and biocompatible 3D-printed models. we present this article where extensive resection was performed, aiming to complete removal of recurrent chest wall chondrosarcoma and defect included all components of chest wall including precordial lining. The reconstruction was performed by using combined autologous as well as alloplastic techniques using acrylic implant.
