ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To see the results of patients who underwent chest wall resection and reconstruction (CWRR). SETTING AND DESIGN: Retrospective descriptional study. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed all patients who underwent CWRR at Xingtai People's Hospital in China and B.P. Koirala Memorial Cancer Hospital in Nepal. A total of 31 patients were reviewed. Among them, 20 were male and 11 female. The median age was 63 years. The indications for resection were primary chest wall tumor in 21 patients (67.7%), lung cancer with invasion of chest wall 6 (19.4%), recurrence of breast cancer 2(6.3%), radiation necrosis 1(3.2%) and skin cancer 1(3.2%). RESULTS: The mean number of rib resected was 3.6 ribs, which induced a mean defect of 97.1 cm2. Concomitant resection was done in 13 patients, including lung resection 10, partial resection of diaphragm 2, and partial sternectomy 1. Seven patients underwent soft tissue reconstruction (STR) alone and 5 patients skeletal reconstruction (SR) alone. Simultaneous SR and STR were performed in 19 patients. Three patients (9.7%) developed postoperative complications. The median survival period was 22 months. CONCLUSION: Primary chest wall tumor and lung cancer invading chest wall are the most common diseases indicating CWRR. Simultaneous bony and soft tissue reconstruction was reliable for chest wall reconstruction in most cases and prevents postoperative complications.

ABSTRACT

Se revisaron los expedientes clínicos de 19 pacientes con diagnóstico de tumor torácico en el tiempo transcurrido desde 1980 a 1986. Se encontró que estos tumores representaban 2% de todos los tumores sólidos diagnosticados en este lapso de tiempo y había un predominio de los linfomas No-Hodgkin en 35% y sólo 10% de tumor intrapulmonar (Hamartoma). Clínicamente no se encontró diferencia entre los tumores primarios y metatásicos, pero en más de 60% de los casos el diagnóstico se realizó cuando ya había signos de compresión mediastinal; la citología pleural fue positiva en 80% de los casos con derrame pleural. La mortalidad fue de 1/3 para los tumores primarios y de 1/2 para los metastásicos, la causa inmediata en ambos casos fue la insuficiencia respiratória y la principal el linfoma No-Hodgkin. Además se reportó 60% de deserción temprana. La incidencia total de tumores sólidos fue de 7-10/10**5 niños para toda la República de Panamá
