Because some adjacent tissues that appear normal may already have tumor cell metastasis.
The harm of incomplete surgery is very significant.
The patient will relapse quickly.
The vast majority of malignant tumors grow more aggressively when stimulated.
It's a typical case of "the higher the wall, the taller the devil."
The excision of the lesion was standard, no issues there.
Zhou Can focused his attention on the subsequent chest wall reconstruction surgery.
Since the patient didn't have an infection pre-surgery, artificial materials were chosen for the reconstruction.
They chose acrylic boards.
After the chest wall reconstruction, Xinxiang Hospital placed a drainage tube at the incision site per surgical requirements.
For such large postoperative defects, drainage tubes are certainly needed.
Only with small chest wall defects can the incision be directly sutured without drainage.
"Could the problem lie with the artificial materials?"
