Reconstruction of a massive chest wall defect using a free anterolateral–lower medial thigh flaps: a case report Open
Critical defects of the chest wall require robust soft tissue coverage to protect the thoracic viscera. We define massive chest wall defects as larger than two-thirds of the chest wall. For such defects, classic flaps like the omentum, lat…
