    Forequarter amputation with chest wall resection is crucial for shoulder girdle, axilla, and chest wall tumors. A modified technique using thoracotomy and sternotomy simplifies the procedure, improving outcomes for complex cancer cases.

    Area of Science:

    • Surgical Oncology
    • Thoracic Surgery
    • Musculoskeletal Oncology

    Background:

    • Forequarter amputation with chest wall resection is a complex procedure for advanced tumors.
    • Indications include primary bony and soft tissue tumors of the shoulder girdle, axilla, and chest wall.
    • It is also used for recurrent breast cancer in the axilla post-irradiation.

    Observation:

    • A modified surgical approach is presented.
    • This modification incorporates an initial thoracotomy for intraoperative staging.
    • It also includes a median sternotomy.

    Findings:

    • The modified technique avoids the need for individual division of anterior ribs and the clavicle.
    • This approach potentially simplifies the surgical dissection and reconstruction.

  • Intraoperative staging via thoracotomy allows for more accurate assessment of tumor extent.

    • Implications:

    • This modified procedure may offer a less morbid surgical option for patients requiring forequarter amputation.
    • It could lead to improved functional outcomes and reduced operative time.
    • Further studies are warranted to evaluate the long-term oncological and functional results of this modified technique.
