Chest wall reconstruction using the pectoralis major flap with dual-partitioned partially cut ribs: A useful method for preventing deformation and preserving the strength of the donor site
In some cases, skeletal and soft issue elements are required for chest wall reconstruction. Although muscle flaps and ribs are commonly used for achieving ideal reconstruction, deformation and loss of bone strength are unavoidable in such cases. In the present report, we describe a technique for che...
