| description | Abstract Objective To investigate the methods and clinical efficacy of reconstruction of chest defects with titanium sternal fixation system after the surgical resection of sternal tumors. Methods A total of 6 patients with sternal tumor who were diagnosed and underwent resection and repair of the chest wall defects by titanium plates system, from 2017.3 to 2017.11 in our hospital were reviewed. Their pathological types, surgical reconstruction methods, follow-up results were analyzed. Results Six cases of sternal tumor were completely resected and the sternums were reconstructed with titanium sternal fixation system. There was no operative death, postoperative chest wall deformity, abnormal breathing or complications of respiratory circulation. After 3 to 10 months of follow-up, there was no loose screw or plate exposure. Not only the thoracic appearances were good, but patients’ satisfaction was high. Conclusions Surgical resection is the best treatment for sternal tumors, no matter it is benign or malignant. Titanium sternal fixation system combine with other soft materials can reconstruct the chest wall well after resection, and this technique is efficient as well as easy to learn. |
