Post-operative pulmonary and shoulder function after sternal reconstruction for patients with chest wall sarcomas.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:Sternal resection is occasionally required for patients with malignant tumors, particularly sarcomas, in the sternal region. Few reports have described post-operative respiratory and shoulder function after sternal resection for patients with bone and soft-tissue sarcomas. METHODS:Eight consecutive patients with bone and soft tissue sarcomas requiring sternal resection were the focus of this study. Chest wall was reconstructed with a non-rigid or semi-rigid prosthesis combined, in most cases, with soft tissue flap reconstruction. Clinical outcomes investigated included complications, shoulder function, evaluated with Musculoskeletal Tumor Society-International Symposium of Limb Salvage system, and respiratory function, evaluated by use of spirometry. RESULTS:The anterior chest wall was reconstructed with non-rigid strings for 3 patients and with polypropylene mesh for 5. There were no severe post-operative complications, for example surgical site infection or pneumonia. All 3 patients with non-rigid reconstruction experienced paradoxical breathing, whereas none with polypropylene mesh did so. Post-operatively, FEV(1)% was unchanged but %VC was significantly reduced (p = 0.01), irrespective of the reconstruction method used (strings or polypropylene mesh). Shoulder function was not impaired. CONCLUSIONS:Among patients undergoing sternal resection, post-operative shoulder function was excellent. Pulmonary function was slightly restricted, but not sufficiently so to interfere with the activities of daily living (ADL). Paradoxical breathing is a slight concern for non-rigid reconstruction.
