Abstract

V originále

Chest wall tumors are classified to benign and malignant tumors and primary and secondary metastases from other body organs. Despite the advances in modern cancer treatment, radical resection of chest wall tumors remains the standard treatment and may be curative. The success of this treatment is based on multidisciplinary team cooperation and each patient is discussed at the oncology indication commission before the surgical procedure. In the case of extensive defects with the necessity of resection of bones, it is always necessary to consider adequate stabilization of the thoracic wall and preservation of its integrity in addition to the closure of soft tissues [1]. The gold standard in these procedures is bridging plate osteosynthesis. With advances in modern medicine, advanced biomaterials are increasingly becoming routine in clinical practice, bringing new possibilities and applications [2]. We present three case studies of reconstruction of the chest wall defects using light-weight condensed polytetrafluoroethylene (cPTFE) Omyra® Mesh TX B. Braun in combination with flap surgery. We want to demonstrate the possibility of restoring the stability of the rib cage without bone transfer or bridging plate osteosynthesis with successful closure of the defect using various types of flaps.
