Chest wall surgery: shaping and reconstruction

Chest wall surgery has two basic properties, one is to treat the disease, and the other is plastic surgery. Shaping is a special property. According to the different specific operating objects, it can be divided into two specific operations, namely shaping and reconstruction.

Shaping refers to the operation performed directly on the bone structure. This operation does not increase or decrease the composition or composition of the bone structure, but only processes on the basis of the original structure to change its shape. This procedure mainly refers to surgery for thoracic deformities. However, not all thoracic deformity surgeries are plastic surgery. In an extremely serious and special procedure, traditional open surgery, such as Ravitch surgery, may be used, because some structures need to be removed, so such surgery is not a simple plastic surgery. Common plastic surgeries in the clinic include Nuss surgery, Wang surgery, Wenlin surgery, Willine surgery, etc. This type of surgery differs significantly from Ravitch surgery.

Reconstructive surgery is different from plastic surgery, literally, the site that needs to be reconstructed must be a site with some structural defect, so in chest wall surgery, reconstruction generally refers to the reconstruction of the defect. This surgery is first present in the surgery of the independent disease of the chest wall defect, and secondly in the operation after all the chest wall structures have been removed, such as reconstruction after the removal of the chest wall tumor, or after the removal of other lesions in the chest wall.

Shaping and reconstruction are two completely different surgeries, and there is no similarity between the two and no connection of any kind. However, the goal of both is the same, i.e. to get a normal appearance. It is precisely because the goals are the same that they all belong to a specific type of surgery, that is, plastic surgery. This is an important property of chest wall surgery.
