Our technique for thoracoplasty begins with a posteriorly based periscapular incision. Dissection through skin and posterior chest wall muscles is performed until the chest wall is reached. Next, the subperiosteal resection of several ribs is performed. Typically 4 to 5 ribs are removed.

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 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.
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. It was the most important and frequently performed operation of thoracic surgery in the past, and a great variety of procedures has been described [1] .
Starting as a procedure designed to obliterate empyema spaces by decostalization, thoracoplasty evolved along two lines: (1) the Alexander type that quite successfully collapsed the cavities of pulmonary tuberculosis until supplanted by antimicrobial chemotherapy and pulmonary resection, and (2) the Schede type that was the springboard for ...
