Chest Wall Surgery

Chest wall surgery involves procedures performed on the bones, muscles, or tissues of the chest to treat conditions such as scoliosis, traumatic injuries, tumors, or congenital defects. The surgery can involve removing or repairing parts of the ribs, sternum, or cartilage to improve function, alleviate pain, or correct deformities. Depending on the condition, it may require opening the chest cavity, repairing damaged structures, or stabilizing the chest wall. The goal is to restore normal anatomy and improve breathing or overall health, often involving a team of specialists and careful post-operative care.
