摘要
Background: Recently, there have been a few reports recommending use of a 2 mm thick polytetrafluoroethylene soft tissue (Gore-Tex) patch for repair of thoracic wall defects. The potential role of these Gore-Tex patches was examined. Methods: Five patients underwent chest wall tumor resection with thoracic wall reconstruction using a Gore-Tex patch (2mm). We present a review of the complications experienced by five patients with Gore-Tex patches, as well as a review of the literature. Results: Functionally and cosmetically, satisfactory results were obtained for 5 patients with Gore-Tex patch. There were no cases of infectious complications. However, we experienced one case of a flail chest postoperatively, in which reconstruction with two Gore-Tex patches of 30 × 15 cm, and 3 days of mechanical ventilation and chest wall support was needed. Conclusion: Our experience with Gore-Tex patches has been positive, and we recommend patch closure for thoracic wall defects.
