Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 09/02/09
Wiens S et al. – The authors describe a novel technique for dealing with the rare complication of post–traumatic or post–thoracotomy lung herniation. The method uses techniques and fixation devices that have been developed for stabilization and fixation of the spine and surgical management of scoliosis. It allows for a secure, reliable, and easily reproducible fixation of the chest–wall in patients with large intercostal lung hernias using standard spinal instruments.
