3 Reconstruction following chest wall resection has been performed in a number of different ways in the past, depending on the nature and size of the defect. Autologous tissue flaps are useful when extensive skin and soft tissue has been resected in addition to the ribs. More commonly, the use of synthetic or biologic mesh has been considered sufficient when the chest wall defect is limited to ribs or sternum, with a low risk of complications when used in noninfected settings 1. For certain applications, especially sternal reconstruction, practitioners have reinforced mesh using materials such as methylmethacrylate to create a rigid structure that is more protective when impact is sustained 2. The use of methylmethacrylate for reconstruction of resected ribs is less common, as this area of the chest wall exhibits more motion during breathing that can lead to a flail situation and discomfort. Furthermore, the need for rigid reconstruction is not thought to be necessary; non-rigid mesh reconstruction appears to mitigate some of the impairment in respiratory mechanics after chest wall resection, as measured by pulmonary function testing parameters such as FEV1, FVC, and DLCO 3. In spite of this, practitioners continue to seek more faithful replicas of resected chest wall. Wang et al in their case report, Chest wall reconstruction with three-dimensional custommade carbon-fiber ribs, demonstrate the state-of-the-art when it comes to chest wall reconstruction. They used a 3D model of the chest skeleton to create a custom carbon-fiber implant for reconstruction of a large defect created after resection of a 22x20x18 cm chondrosarcoma. Others have created synthetic ribs with three-dimensional printing using titanium and porous polytethylene 45. Wang et al cite the advantages of using carbon fiber rather than metal: less interference if postoperative radiotherapy becomes necessary, and less artifact when performing surveillance CT scans. One interesting aspect of using carbon fiber is the elasticity of the neo-rib can be adjusted depending on how much carbon is deposited during the printing process to mimic the quality of biologic ribs. While such surgical artistry is impressive, the investigators do not cite the cost of such advanced technology, nor do we know if such a technique has any measurable benefit to the patient. Indeed, a premade rib fixation device that is almost certainly less expensive exists and has shown promise for chest wall reconstruction 67. However, the larger question of whether or not rigid reconstruction of the chest wall affects pulmonary function, pain and recovery, surveillance imaging, or cosmesis compared to non-rigid reconstruction remains unanswered. Before we as a field move on from the tried and true to new, more expensive ways to solve an age-old problem, we should consider if it is worth the leap. 1 Descharmps C, Mehmit B, Darbandi R et al.
