Abstract
Large chest wall defects require surgical reconstruction to ensure structural stability and to prevent flail chest. We used autologous fascia lata grafts to reconstruct skeletal chest wall defects in 8 consecutive patients. Sufficient chest wall stability was obtained; and no complications, such as flail chest, infection, or seroma, have been observed in any of the cases to date.
