Abstract:
Posterior chest wall resection is a complex surgical procedure that involves removing any anatomical structure that surrounds the lungs and pleura, such as the intercostals, ribs, and soft tissues. The etiology of scoliosis that develops after chest wall excision is likely both mechanical and paralytic in nature. We report seven cases of scoliosis following posterior chest wall resection. Our results suggest that the prophylactic treatment of scoliosis after chest wall resection decreases the risk of scoliosis.
