Reconstruction of the chest wall

RO Dingman and LC Argenta

Reconstruction of the chest wall can now be accomplished reliably and expeditiously. Past experience with local flaps and split-thickness skin grafts recommends their continued use when appropriate. Recent studies in blood flow have demonstrated that very large muscles with or without the overlying skin can be moved primarily and reliably. The four most reliable myocutaneous flaps for chest wall reconstruction are described. Microsurgery allows movement of large segments of skin and muscle from expendable areas of the body to the chest wall.
