Recently, there have been a few reports recommending use of a 2 mm thick polytetrafluoroethylene soft tissue (Gore-Tex) patch for repair of thoracic wall defects. The potential role of these Gore-Tex patches was examined.
Five patients underwent chest wall tumor resection with thoracic wall reconstruction using a Gore-Tex patch (2 mm). We present a review of the complications experienced by five patients with Gore-Tex patches, as well as a review of the literature.
Functionally and cosmetically, satisfactory results were obtained for 5 patients with Gore-Tex patch. There were no cases of infectious complications. However, we experienced one case of a flail chest postoperatively, in which reconstruction with two Gore-Tex patches of 30 x 15 cm, and 3 days of mechanical ventilation and chest wall support was needed.
Our experience with Gore-Tex patches has been positive, and we recommend patch closure for thoracic wall defects.
最近,有一些报告推荐使用2毫米厚的聚四氟乙烯软组织(戈尔泰克斯)补片修复胸壁缺损。对这些戈尔泰克斯补片的潜在作用进行了研究。
5例患者接受了胸壁肿瘤切除并使用戈尔泰克斯补片(2毫米)进行胸壁重建。我们对5例使用戈尔泰克斯补片患者的并发症以及文献进行了回顾。
在功能和美容方面,5例使用戈尔泰克斯补片的患者均获得了满意的结果。没有感染性并发症的病例。然而,我们术后遇到1例连枷胸,需要用两块30×15厘米的戈尔泰克斯补片进行重建,并进行3天的机械通气和胸壁支撑。
我们使用戈尔泰克斯补片的经验是积极的,我们推荐用补片闭合胸壁缺损。
