Abstract Resection of thoracic wall tumors results in significant defects in the chest wall, leading to various complications. In recent years, the use of three-dimensional (3D) printed titanium alloy prostheses in clinical practice has demonstrated enhanced outcomes in chest wall reconstruction surgery. A cohort of seven patients with sternal tumors was identified for this study. Following a helical CT scan, a digital model was generated for the design of the prosthesis. Subsequently, the tumors were then removed together with the affected sternum and ribs. The chest wall was then reconstructed using 3D-printed titanium alloy prosthesis for bone reconstruction, mesh for pleural reconstruction, and flap for soft tissue reconstruction. Patients were monitored for a period of one year post-surgery. In the seven cases examined, the tumors were found in various locations with varying degrees of invasion. Based on the scope of surgical resection and the size of the defect, 3D-printed titanium alloy prosthesis was custom-designed for chest wall reconstruction. Prior to bone reconstruction, pleural reconstruction was achieved with Bard Composix E/X Mesh, while soft tissue repair involved muscle flap and musculocutaneous flap procedures. A one-year follow-up assessment revealed that the utilization of the 3D-printed titanium alloy prosthesis led to secure fixation, favorable histocompatibility, and enhanced lung function. The findings demonstrate that the utilization of 3D printed titanium alloy prostheses represents a significant advancement in the field of chest wall reconstruction and thoracic surgical procedures. |
