修复上胸壁巨大肿瘤切除后缺损一例的早期效果

目的应用钛网、重建钢板及背阔肌带蒂肌皮瓣,修复上胸壁乳腺肉瘤样癌切除后巨大缺损1例,观察术后早期效果。方法于2006年2月收治1例56岁女性上胸壁乳腺肉瘤样癌患者,行肿瘤切除后缺损约20cm×15cm,钛网覆盖胸壁缺损,重建钢板连接双侧锁骨残端,右侧背阔肌带蒂肌皮瓣约20cm×15cm移位修复软组织缺损。结果患者术后3d脱呼吸机,反常呼吸较明显。2周皮瓣血运稳定后,用胸带固定胸廓,反常呼吸渐消失,皮瓣血供良好。复查胸片,钛网及重建钢板位置良好。术后1个月转入肿瘤科化疗。随访3个月,局部及全身无不适;双肩活动度前屈90°,外展90°;肿瘤未见复发。结论胸壁巨大缺损重建时应选择质地较硬的材料,重建钢板维持双侧锁骨的解剖位置,肩关节功能恢复好,背阔肌带蒂肌皮瓣可适当扩大切取。

REPAIR OF LARGE UPPER THORACIC WALL DEFECT AFTER TUMORECTOMY

OBJECTIVE: To observe an early result after the repair of the large upper thoracic wall defect by a combined use of the titanium net, reconstruction nickelclad, and latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap in a patient who underwent a breast sarcomatoid caricinoma resection on the upper thoracic wall. METHODS: A breast sarcomatoid carcinoma in the upper thoracic wall was removed in 1 56-year-old female patient in February 2006. After the tumorectomy, a large thoracic wall defect was left, which was 20 cm X 15 cm in size. The defect was covered by the titanium net, the bilateral stumps of the clavicles were connected by the reconstruction nickelclad, and the soft tissue defect was repaired with the right latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap (20 cm x 15 cm). RESULTS: The patient depended on the breathing machine for 3 days after operation. When the breathing machine was discontinued, the patient developed a severe paradoxical breathing. Two weeks after operation when the blood circulation of the flap was stabilized, the paradoxical breathing disappeared with the help of the chest bandage for fixation of the chest cavity, and the blood supply of the flap was improved. The chest X-ray film showed that the titanium net and the reconstruction nickelclad were well positioned. The patient received chemotherapy 1 month after operation, The follow-up for 3 months revealed that the patient's local condition and physical condition were good, and ROM of both the shoulders was improved, with AF 90 degrees and ABD 90 degrees. No recurrence of the tumor was found. CONCLUSION: A large thoracic wall defect should be repaired with solid materials. The normal anatomic locations of the clavicles should be maintained with fixation by the reconstruction nickelclad for a good function of the shoulders. The latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap can be properly enlarged.
