Abstract

Chest wall reconstruction Is difficult because of the physiological and anatomical functions of thoracic cavity where the thoracic cavity must be stabilized in order to prevent paradoxical motion, and adequate protection must be provided to the mediastinal structures. A 37-year-old male patient with full-thickness defect on the left anterior thoracic cavity due to traffic accident was treated. Emergency operation was performed for debridement and bleeding control, and on postoperative 25 days, chest wall reconstruction was performed as a second-stage operation. Left anterior chest wall was reconstructed with latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap which had thoracodorsal arterial pedicle, and split-thickness skin grift from the left thigh was done. After chest wall reconstruction, spontaneous self-respiration was possible without ventilatory support. The pulmonary function test performed at postoperative 3 months revealed 80% of predicted values (FVC, FEV1.0). The postoperative result of chest wall reconstruction using latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap was excellent anatomically, physiologically and aesthetically.

역행성 호흡 운동을 방지 하고 종격동내의 구조물을 보호하는 흥곽의 기능을 고려해야 하기 때문에 흉벽 재건은 임상적으로 간단하지가 않다. 영남대 학교병원 흉부외과에서는 교통사고로 좌측 전흉부의 전층에 걸친 흉벽 결손을 가진 37세 남자 환자에게 흉벽 재건술을 시행하였다. 외상직후 변연 절제와 지혈을 위해 1차 응급 수술이 시행되었고, 수술후25일째 흉벽 재건을 위한 2차수술을 시행하였다. 흉벽재건에는 흉배동맥을 피판경으로한 광배근피판과 좌측 대퇴부로부터 피부이식이 이용되었다. 흉벽 재건 수술후 인공호흡기 보조없이 자가 호흡이 가능하였으며, 수술후 3개월에 시행한 폐기능 검사(FVC, FEV1.0)는 예측치의 80%로 나타났다. 광배근피판을 이용한 흉벽 재건의 수술후 경과는 생리학적, 해부학적 그리고 미학적으로도 만족할만 하였다.
