ESOPHAGORRHAPHY
Patients with an esophageal injury may present insidiously or in profound septic shock. Pain is the most common symptom of esophagus perforation. Esophagography with barium con­trast should be performed judiciously. These authors do not recommend water-soluble contrast material because it is less sensitive in confirming a diagnosis and, if aspirated, can con­tribute to a significant pulmonary reaction. Exposure of the upper esophagus is facilitated by division of the azygous vein. After the injury is identified, any necrotic mediastinal pleura is excised, and the repair is performed in two layers. After repair is completed, a musculopleural flap is mobilized based on the intercostals neurovascular bundle and used to buttress
the repair. The area should be widely drained. In instances of a longstanding mediastinal abscess and/or in a septic unstable patient, the esophageal injury may be simply drained with the aid of a very large T-tube placed into the esophagus and brought out the side.
LUNG TWIST FOR HEMORRHAGE CONTROL
When uncontrolled bleeding from the lung is encountered during an emergency center or operating room thoracotomy and the patient is hemodynamically unstable, a damage con­trol maneuver known as, “lung twisting” can control the bleeding.

POSTOPERATIVE CARE
Patients with thoracic trauma requiring an operation need monitoring in a surgical intensive care unit. Antibiotic and deep vein thrombosis (DVT) prophylaxis for high-risk patients must be considered. Ventilatory management is carefully monitored and controlled. Extubation is accom­plished using appropriate weaning protocols. Postoperative complications are similar to those for other operations on the organs which had been injured.
OUTCOME
The mortality and complications of the various operations cited is variable, depending on specific organ(s) injured. For patients surviving the initial traumatic insult and the first 3 days in the surgical intensive care unit, long-term survival is good and usual. Some injuries, such as injury to the esopha­gus, have a higher morbidity and mortality rate.

HISTORY
The first known chest wall resection was reported by Aimar in
1778. Rehn at the beginning of this century reported a very high incidence of complications and quoted a 20% mortality rate, similar to that reported by Quenue and Longuet in 1989. The first report of chest wall resection in the United States was by Parham in 1889. From the early to the middle years of the twentieth century, limited numbers of resections of chest wall tumors were reported. In 1921, Hedgeblom described his experience of 313 cases, of which 73% were malignant. Twenty years later, O’Neal and Ackerman reported 96 cases of tumors of the ribs and of the sternum. Another large experience was reported by Hockemberg in 1953, who observed and treated 205 cases of chest wall tumors. Respiratory complications and sepsis were the most common and serious problems at that time. The modern era of chest wall resection began late in the 1960s, thanks to the improvement in surgical techniques and anesthesia, the introduction of antibiotics and intensive care units, and the development of new methods of reconstruction. Extensive resection of the chest wall became possible with more acceptable morbidity and mortality. Furthermore, better understanding of the natural history, biological variability of the cell types, and the use of radiation and chemotherapy, allowed for better treatments and improved results.
from the cartilage or bone, but they can develop in any of the histological elements of the thorax including muscle, nerve, and soft tissue. Moreover, neoplasms of the external thorax could be a metastatic lesion from a previously treated or occult primary tumor. Approximately 60% of the time, pri­mary chest wall tumors are malignant. The principal require­ment for adequate local control of chest wall tumors remains wide local excision. With the available skeletal and soft tissue reconstructive techniques, even large lesions can be success­fully resected with safe margins. Although the primary pur­pose of these operations is a curative resection, a significant number of symptomatic patients can benefit from palliative resection. A key element is a multidisciplinary approach by the thoracic surgeon, the reconstructive surgeon, the medical oncologist, and the radiotherapist.
Epidemiology and classification
Although chest wall tumors are uncommon, they consist of a variety of both benign and malignant lesions. They may be primary or metastatic or may involve the chest wall by con­tiguous spread from adjacent disease, most often lung or breast cancer. Approximately 60% of all primary chest wall tumors are malignant.
MALIGNANT PRIMARY TUMORS
PRINCIPLES AND JUSTIFICATION
Primary chest wall tumors have been estimated to represent less than 1% of all tumors. The majority of them originate
In adults, the most common primary malignant lesions are chondrosarcoma, plasmacytoma, and fibrosarcoma. Chondrosarcoma frequently appears as a large lobulated excrescent mass arising from a rib, with scattered calcification.

https://t.me/med1917
As with other cartilaginous tumors, chondrosarcomas com­monly develop from the costo-chondral junction, and radi­ographically they may be indistinguishable from an osteochondroma or chondroma. Plasmacytoma is less fre­quent than chondrosarcoma, but the systemic disease, multi­ple myeloma, is frequently seen to involve several ribs as well as the sternum. The lesions of plasmacytoma or multiple myeloma typically appear as well-defined lytic lesions associ­ated with extrapleural soft masses, similar to most metastatic lesions. In advanced plasmacytoma, marked erosion, expan­sion, and destruction of the bony cortex is often present, sometimes with a thick ridging around the periphery, causing the “soap bubble” appearance. Fibrosarcoma is the most common malignant tumor of the chest wall arising from the soft tissue in adults. However, as reported in most earlier series, the term fibrosarcoma probably includes many cases that now would be classified as malignant fibrous histiocy­toma, as well as spindle cell tumors such as malignant schwan­noma or synovial sarcoma. Fibrosarcoma often presents as a mass of soft tissue density associated with necrotic low density areas; foci of calcification may be present. Approximately 15% of malignant schwannomas develop in the trunk, and about one-third are on the anterior chest wall. Like their benign counterpart, they appear as rounded or elliptical masses adja­cent to the rib. Any radiographic evidence of bony destruction is indicative of a malignant process. Other less common pri­mary chest wall tumors seen in the adult population are
osteosarcoma, liposarcoma, and angiosarcoma.
In children and adolescents, the most common primary tumor of the chest wall is Ewing’s sarcoma that generally presents as a lytic and sometimes expansive lesion of a rib or clavicle with associated new bone formation and a soft tissue mass. Frequently, pleural effusion, fever and general symp­toms are present. Ewing’s sarcoma is also seen as the common metastatic tumor of the bony thorax.
Other less common primary malignant tumors in the pedi­atric age group are osteosarcoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, and mesenchymoma.
BENIGN TUMORS
Approximately half of all chest wall tumors are benign, and the majority of them are of cartilaginous origin, namely chondromas, enchondromas, and osteochondromas. These lesions are often incidentally found on chest X-ray done for unrelated purposes. Malignant degeneration is rare in solitary lesions, but it may occur in as many as 5–20% of cases in inherited syndromes such as multiple osteochondromatosis or enchondromatosis. Fibrous dysplasia is the most com­mon bone tumor or tumor-like condition of the ribs, accounting for 20–30% of all benign bone tumors of the chest wall. Fibrous dysplasia probably originates from the bone­forming mesenchyme. The disease usually presents as a pain­less, lytic lesion, often with a localized area of bone expansion, located in the posterior aspect of the rib. Less common benign bone tumors of the chest wall include
eosinophilic granuloma, osteoblastoma, haemangioma
usually located in a vertebral body, and chondroblastoma.
The most common benign soft tissue tumor of the chest wall is the lipoma, that generally occurs deep in the soft tis­sue, just outside the parietal pleura and often with an intrathoracic and extrathoracic component connected by an isthmus of tissue between the ribs.
Neurofibromas and schwannomas most commonly occur in the posterior mediastinum, but they can originate from the intercostal or other nerves of the chest wall. These tumors usually appear as well-circumscribed spherical or elongated masses, causing sometimes widening of the neural foramina, as well as pressure, erosion, and rib spreading of adjacent ribs. Evident bone destruction indicates a malignant differentia­tion.
METASTATIC DISEASE
Metastatic lesions are the most common tumors of the chest wall and are seen more frequently than either primary malig­nant or benign tumors. In the adult population, the most com­mon metastatic diseases are lung, breast, kidney, and prostate carcinomas. With the exceptions of prostate and breast can­cer, the large majority of metastatic tumors to the chest wall are lytic. In children, neuroblastoma, leukemia, and Ewing’s sarcoma are the most common metastatic lesions.
PREOPERATIVE ASSESSMENT AND PREPARATION
Symptoms and physical findings
Approximately 20% of patients with chest wall tumor are asymptomatic. The most common referred symptom is pain, present in 50–60% of patients with enlarging masses. General symptoms (weight loss, asthenia, fever) are inconstant. Physical examination should be aimed to evaluate the tumor location and size and the possible involvement of contiguous organs. Malignant tumors are usually fixed to the bony tho­rax. Location of the lesion may suggest the histological type of the tumor. Usually, cartilaginous tumors arise along the costo-chondral junctions in the anterior wall of the chest. Masses away from the osteo-cartilaginous structures are usu­ally of soft tissue origin.
Diagnosis
Radiographic evaluation of the chest wall tumor is crucial to determine the origin of the mass (cartilage, bone, soft tissue), as well as planning for surgical or nonsurgical therapy. A standard chest X-ray can be used to localize the lesion and to obtain some information about the status of the lung fields and the pleural cavity (pleural effusion). Computed tomog- raphy (CT) is the most valuable tool in the evaluation of chest wall neoplasms, because of its excellent contrast resolution and the images in the axial plane. CT defines, albeit incom-

pletely, the relations between the tumor and the contiguous structures. Examination of the lung windows will help to dis­cover eventual synchronous metastatic disease. Mediastinal or bone windows provide the best information on the dimen­sions and density of the tumor and bone destruction. CT is also valuable to assess the relation of the tumor to the chest wall musculature, helping in chest wall reconstruction plan­ning. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can add signifi­cant information because of greater contrast resolution and ability to image in multiple planes. Useful data can also be recorded on the nature of the tumor. Bone scan should be performed in all cases of chest wall tumor.
Current opinion suggests that all chest wall tumors should be considered malignant until proven to be otherwise; and when possible, wide excision should be carried out. Usually, small lesions can be resected totally without preliminary biopsy. For larger lesions, preoperative histological diagnosis should be obtained. Fine needle aspiration biopsy or core cut­ting biopsy is used. The latter has higher accuracy (96%) than fine needle aspiration. If these techniques do not yield a definitive diagnosis, an incisional biopsy is justified and per­formed through a transverse incision which can easily be excised at the time of the definitive resection.
CHEST WALL RESECTION AND RECONSTRUCTION
Planning the operation is dependent on the assessment of several factors:
1 Exact histological diagnosis 2 The extent of chest wall involvement 3 History of previous radiation or surgical operation at the
site of the disease 4 Medical conditions of the patient 5 Aim of the treatment: cure or palliation.
A combined preoperative evaluation by both the thoracic surgeon and the plastic surgeon is advisable to discuss the need, the availability, and the feasibility of soft tissue coverage in cases of wide chest wall resection.
In patients for whom palliative resection is planned and who have incurable tumor, two main points should be con­sidered: first, although long term survival is not expected, local excision and tumor control can improve the quality of life; second, patients whose symptoms are correlated to com­pression of the lung or other organs clearly show improve­ment in symptoms and quality of life after palliative resection. These findings justify surgical treatment, especially when nonsurgical options are of little or no benefit.
Preoperative evaluation
Chest wall resection and reconstruction is a major procedure with a risk of life-threatening complication. Accurate preop­erative assessment is therefore crucial, because it allows detec­tion and treatment of correctable problems and permits the surgeon to individualize the postoperative management. Risk factors may be cardiovascular, pulmonary, or nutritional.
CARDIAC EVALUATION
In general, the cardiac risk for a chest wall operation is simi­lar to that of any major surgical procedure. A history of recent myocardial infarction or poorly congestive heart failure is a contraindication to elective chest wall resection.
PULMONARY EVALUATION
A good history is essential and should include questioning for smoking, chronic conditions, infections, dyspnea on exertion, and any other symptoms suggesting respiratory impairment. All patients undergoing chest wall resection have some degree of postoperative ventilatory dysfunction. Routine preopera­tive evaluation should include chest X-ray, arterial blood gas analysis, and spirometry before and after bronchodilation.
Patient’s position
Positioning of the patient for a chest wall resection depends on the location of the chest wall tumor. The patient is posi­tioned and draped on the operating table so that both resec­tion and reconstruction are facilitated. For anterior lesions, the patient may be kept in the supine position, with slight lat­eral elevation to assist in thoracotomy. The majority of the chest wall lesions are most easily resected with the patient positioned as for posterolateral thoracotomy.
ANESTHESIA
Standard inhalation and narcotic techniques can be used for chest wall operations. Selective ventilation using a double lumen tracheal tube is extremely useful, especially to define any adhesions between the chest wall tumor and the underly­ing lung and to aid the exploration of the chest cavity as well as the resection. Epidural analgesia is usually very useful in the management of postoperative pain.
OPERATION
NUTRITIONAL ASSESSMENT
Malnourished patients have a higher incidence of postopera­tive complications. In general, it is advisable to delay the operation as long as is required to correct malnutrition. Body weight, serum protein levels, serum transferrin, and total lymphocyte count can be useful.
Tumor resection
Traditionally, the skin incision was placed to avoid the tumor, but it is well known nowadays that the incision can safely be done over the tumor to improve the exposure and reduce the vascular damage to the cutaneous area if the skin is spared. In fact, resection of skin and subcutaneous tissues is

below or above the first uninvolved rib, and the intratho­racic extension of the tumor is evaluated by finger palpation. The presence or absence of adhesions to the lung and pleural effusion can also be assessed by this initial thoracotomy, as well as the relation of the tumor to the ribs that will serve as the superior, medial and lateral margins. Adhesions between the lung and the chest wall should not be violated; they can be easily divided after complete or almost complete mobiliza­tion of the chest wall mass.

which the intercostal incision was made is judged to be clear of tumor, the incision is extended anteriorly and poste­riorly. The cephalad and caudad margins of the resection are one normal rib superiorly and inferiorly. The extent of lateral margins is controversial. Usually, 3–4 cm of grossly normal tissue with microscopic evaluation of the margins by frozen section is considered sufficient. The ribs are most easily divided using a costotome or a guillotine bone cutter; the intercostal bundle is encircled and divided between ties of nonabsorbable suture. The intercostal muscle may be divided between ribs using diathermy. When a rib is clearly involved by the tumor, it should be completely excised with its carti­laginous articulation, because it is not possible to predict the marrow extension of the tumor.
After all of the rib segments are resected and all inter-

costal bundles are secured, the portion of the chest wall should be completely free except for any attachments to the lung or diaphragm. Segments of pleura and pericardium are included in the resection if involved. With TA or GIA stapling devices, the lung can be divided so the resection will include any adhesions. The diaphragm can be widely excised and re­approximated using mattress sutures. Involvement of the subscapular muscle or the scapula itself can be approached by removing the scapula partially or totally, with re-suturing of the uninvolved muscles to the residual chest wall. En bloc removal of the tumor is an important criterion for a complete resection.

involvement of underlying structures. The skeletal resec­tion of sternal tumors encompasses 2–4 cm of rib in addition to the affected portion of the sternum. It is preferable to keep part of the sternum intact if the margin of resection is safe. It is advisable to save one or both superior epigastric vessels to retain the option of using the rectus abdominis muscle flap for the reconstruction.
