Rebuilding the Chest Wall After Surgery, Trauma, or Deformity

Chest wall reconstruction is a highly specialised area of reconstructive surgery used to restore the structural integrity and appearance of the chest after procedures such as tumor excision, trauma, or congenital defects. It often involves repairing or replacing sections of muscle, bone, and skin to protect vital organs and restore natural contour.

Dr Parviz Sadigh has worked extensively on complex chest wall reconstructions during his surgical training in the UK and internationally. His expertise includes microsurgical free flap reconstruction, synthetic mesh integration, and aesthetic refinement of post-oncological or traumatic chest wall defects. These procedures are not only medically essential – they can also play a key role in improving breathing mechanics, symmetry, and long-term quality of life.

How Chest Wall Reconstruction Works

Surgical reconstruction of the chest wall may require the use of autologous tissue (the patient’s own muscle or skin), synthetic materials like titanium plates or mesh, or composite reconstruction techniques to rebuild areas of the ribcage or sternum.

Depending on the underlying cause, this procedure may be performed alongside thoracic or oncological surgeons. In trauma or cancer cases, reconstruction is often done immediately following the removal of damaged or cancerous tissue.

The main goals are to:

Provide structural support and protect internal organs
Restore chest shape and function
Minimise respiratory complications
Achieve symmetry and natural contour, particularly in visible areas

Conditions Commonly Treated

Post-mastectomy or tumour resection defects
Congenital chest wall deformities (e.g. Poland syndrome)
Complex trauma involving rib or sternal fractures
Chronic wounds or infection-related chest wall defects
Chest wall hernias or instability following surgery
