Thus, thoracoplasty seeks to collapse the chest wall to the remaining lung or mediastinum. We usually reserve this procedure for bronchopleural fistulas or infected spaces after pulmonary resection when the patient will not tolerate further resection to correct the underlying pulmonary disorder.

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 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.
the past 30 years, thoracoplasty is rarely performed and when performed, it is often done incorrectly. Although surgery in the treatment of the pulmonary tuberculosis is currently of no great relevance, the impor-tance of thoracoplasty has not decreased, especially in cases of infected intrathoraciccavities,whichcannotbeliquidated
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.
1 Μαΐ 2010 · Thoracoplasty, a procedure consisting in the subperiostal removal of a varying number of rib segments, is used to reduce the thoracic cavity.
