Abstract
VILA POYATOS, J. et al. Use of poly-L-lactic plates in chest wall reconstruction. Cir. plást. iberolatinoam. [online]. 2011, vol.37, n.4, pp.375-380. ISSN 1989-2055. https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S0376-78922011000400009.
Chest wall reconstruction requires an extensive knowledge of reconstructive techniques and a good surgical plan. On one hand, it is necessary to maintain stability of the rib cage and, on the other, provide a good foundation for dermal coverage or musculocutaneous flaps which confers good functional and plastic results. In this article we describe 2 cases in which anterior chest wall reconstruction was performed with plates of poly-L-lactic acid, on which were placed the musculocutaneous flaps.
Keywords : Chest wall reconstruction; Poly-L-Lactic Acid.
