No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Chest wall resections, often performed for tumors, infections, or trauma, result in significant defects that require reconstruction to restore structural integrity and functionality. The use of twisted stainless steel wires (No. 05) for chest wall reconstruction offers a cost-effective and practical alternative. Steel wires provide robust structural support, allow dynamic movement of the chest wall during respiration, and are associated with improved postoperative pain control.
