Thoracoplasty evolved as a procedure designed to treat empyema, although modern day thoracic surgeons more commonly use this modality to obliterate persistent pleural spaces after resection. Thoracoplasty is the operative removal of the thoracic cage, which usually involves the subperiosteal resection of several ribs.

Thoracoplasty is a surgical procedure that allows the reduction of the thoracic cavity by removing the ribs. It was originally conceived to collapse cavities of lungs affected by tuberculosis and gained worldwide acceptance in such a setting.
Thoracoplasty was initiated in the late 19th century to treat destructive lung tuberculosis and was also a “last chance” treatment for chronic pleural empyema (in various
Thoracoplasty is a surgical technique initially designed to permanently collapse tuberculous cavities by resection of ribs from the chest wall. Thoracoplasty began in 1885 with de Cerenville, who resected short segments of two or more ribs anteriorly, resulting in collapse of the anterior chest wall.
Thoracoplasty means resection of bony parts of the chest wall, usually more or less extended parts of the ribs. The aim of the procedure is to reduce the size of the chest wall to eliminate a hollow space, or to compress a pathologically altered lung.
Thoracoplasty was invented for removing cavities between thoracic wall and remnant lung or mediastinum. It was initially used in cases of tuberculosis or unspecific infections, while currently it is used mainly for space problems after lobectomy/pneumonectomy.
4 Σεπ 2024 · Key Points. Current indications for thoracoplasties include postpneumonectomy empyemas and infected apical spaces. Most thoracoplasties are performed through a standard posterolateral thoracotomy, which can be extended upward, if necessary. An axillary incision can be used for limited thoracoplasty.
