Popis: From 1981 to. 1989, a total of 13 procedures were performed on 12 patients requiring complex reconstructions of the thoracic wall. The most common cause of these defects was cancer. Muscle flaps remain the treatment of choice for thoracic wall reconstruction and have been used in 10 cases. Microsurgical tissue transfer opens even larger therapeutic perspectives. A team approach is recommended.
