Chest Wall Tumor
Conditions
Keywords
PCL Implant, Chest Wall Reconstruction, 3D Printing Technology
Brief summary
This project focuses on patients with chest wall tumors who are expected to have a maximum intraoperative anterolateral chest wall defect diameter of 5-10 cm and require chest wall reconstruction with rib implants. It aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of biodegradable 3D-printed implants in chest wall reconstruction surgery, providing a superior reconstruction strategy for patients with tumor-induced chest wall defects.
Interventions
Extended resection of chest wall tumors with subsequent biodegradable polycaprolactone (PCL) 3D-printed rib prosthetic reconstruction

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Abnormal breathing | Postoperative 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months | Observe the integrity of the chest wall shape and the presence of abnormal breathing |
| Implant Degradation Performance Monitoring | Postoperative 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months | Thin-section chest CT + 3D imaging (DICOM format data) * Implant volume changes: Precise measurement of volumetric changes through 3D reconstruction; * Implant density changes: Quantification of density changes using Hounsfield Units (HU values), including adjacent bone tissue changes; ③ Bone resorption/formation: Observation of potential bone loss or new bone formation; ④ Implant structural integrity: Assessment for cracks, voids, or other structural compromises. |
| Peri-implant Soft Tissue Evaluation | Postoperative 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months | Chest MRI to evaluate thickening of the pleural fibrous layer surrounding the implant |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Changes in respiratory function--Pulmonary Function Test | Postoperative 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months | The assessment of changes in respiratory function through pulmonary function tests includes indicators such as Forced Vital Capacity (FVC), Forced Expiratory Volume in the First Second (FEV₁), Total Lung Capacity (TLC), Residual Volume (RV), and Maximum Voluntary Ventilation (MVV). |
| Adverse events | form date of enrollment until the end of the study, assessed up to 12 months | — |
