    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Reconstructive Surgery
    • Thoracic Surgery

    Background:

    • Poland syndrome presents significant chest wall and breast asymmetry.
    • Traditional multi-stage reconstructions often yield suboptimal cosmetic results.
    • A novel single-stage approach is investigated for improved patient outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of a single-stage surgical technique for Poland syndrome.
    • To assess cosmetic and functional outcomes in patients undergoing this novel procedure.
    • To compare the single-stage method with traditional multi-stage reconstructions.

    Main Methods:

    • Two patients with Poland syndrome underwent single-stage reconstruction.
    • Procedures included chest wall stabilization (Marlex mesh/dura graft) and augmentation mammoplasty.

  • Island pedicle latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flaps were utilized for reconstruction.

    • Main Results:

    • Excellent cosmetic and functional results were achieved in both patients.
    • The technique effectively addressed absent costal cartilages/ribs and pectus carinatum.
    • No operative morbidity or mortality was observed.

    Conclusions:

    • The single-stage reconstruction technique offers superior cosmetic and functional results for Poland syndrome.
    • This method represents a significant advancement over previous multi-stage procedures.
    • The latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap is a valuable component for simultaneous breast reconstruction.
