Chest Wall Reconstruction Surgery

Chest wall reconstruction surgery is a medical procedure aimed at repairing or rebuilding the chest wall, which protects vital organs like the heart and lungs. This surgery may be necessary after trauma, tumors, or congenital defects that compromise the chest's structure. Surgeons use various materials, such as metal plates, screws, or biological grafts, to restore stability and function. Successful reconstruction can help alleviate pain and improve respiratory function, allowing patients to regain their quality of life. Recovery involves careful monitoring and rehabilitation to ensure the chest wall heals properly.
