Abstract

23 patients with malignant tumors of the thoracic wall, invading bone structures, were operated in the period of 2005-2009 years. Thoracic wall reconstruction was performed in 20 (77%) of patients. The type of the reconstruction was defined by tumor localization, volume of resection, anatomic features of transplantational tissue flaps. Surgical method remains the mainstay in the treatment of the thoracic wall tumors. Although in cases of highly malignant bone or soft tissue sarcomas, only combined and complex methods allow the achievement of satisfactory results.
