Abstract
Despite the emergent application of 3-dimensional technology for thoracic reconstructions, reports regarding its use for the resolution of the heterogeneous subgroup of complex chest wall malformations are lacking. We aim to report a novel, standardized process of personalized repair of complex chest wall malformations comprising multidisciplinary, comprehensive surgical planning; surgical simulation on a 3-dimensionally printed scale model of the area of interest; manufacturing of customized prostheses; and surgical repair according to plan. We propose this therapeutic strategy for the resolution of such a wide variety of chest wall deformities to reduce improvisation and enhance outcomes.
