Area of Science:
- Thoracic Surgery
- Surgical Oncology
- Reconstructive Surgery
Background:
- Malignant chest wall diseases necessitate extensive resections, creating significant reconstructive challenges.
- Restoring chest wall integrity requires addressing both cosmetic and dynamic pulmonary function parameters.
