Removal and subsequent reconstruction of the anterior chest wall as a result of benign or neoplastic conditions is a real challenge for the cardiothoracic surgeon. In these cases, it is imperative to undertake a multidisciplinary task involving many medical and non-medical specialties to provide the best outcome in terms of health, well-being, cosmetics and onco- logy future, if appropriate.
A wide range of supplies for these reconstructive processes has been described encoura- ging surgeons to use their creativity to solve different challenges at the time of surgery.
This paper discusses a series of 4 cases, in which sternal reconstruction could be per- formed with custom-designed PEEK™. Clinical case material, surgical characteristics and outcomes are described.
