Case reportBilateral Double Free-Flaps for Reconstruction of Extensive Chest Wall Defect
Section snippets
Comment
The progress in microsurgical reconstructions has accounted for low mortality rates in patients with complex chest wall defects [3]. It made definite defect coverage in the most complex cases after en bloc tumor resection feasible. However, most postsurgical defects can be closed with pedicled muscle, myocutaneous flaps, or pedicled perforator flaps. In every case, the requirements for chest wall reconstruction remain the same: restoration of chest wall integrity, preservation of dynamic

Reconstruction of massive chest wall defects: A 20-year experience
2020, Journal of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic SurgeryCitation Excerpt :Although reconstruction outcomes have correlated with defect size,12 no adequately powered studies analyzing outcomes following massive chest wall reconstructions exist. The existing literature on the management of massive chest wall defects contains numerous case reports25–36 describing novel approaches, making it difficult to derive a standardized algorithmic approach to these patients. Given our experience with massive chest wall reconstructions, we hypothesized that we could develop an optimal algorithmic approach to these reconstructions based on patient outcomes.
Retrospective cohort study of combined approach for trunk reconstruction using arteriovenous loops and free flaps
2018, Journal of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic SurgeryCitation Excerpt :All AV loops anastomosed to the axillary vessels were patent without any vascular complications. Gazyakan et al reported of a bilateral chest wall reconstruction using ALT and TFL flaps anastomosed to an arteriovenous loop based on the axillary vessels.15 Tukiainen et al were also able to reconstruct chest wall defects using TFL flaps combined with arteriovenous loops anastomosed to the femoral artery.16
