Summary.

Full-thickness defects of the thoracic wall following tumor resection, irradiation damage or secondary wound healing in thoracic surgery require early interdisciplinary cooperation to achieve patient-specific treatment modalities. Plastic surgical differential therapy allowing for sufficient soft tissue coverage, stabilisation of the thoracic wall and space filling in intrathoracic cavities, is presented and critically discussed.

Zusammenfassung.

Allschichtige Thoraxwanddefekte nach Tumorresektion, Bestrahlungsschaden oder postoperativer Wundinfektion erfordern eine patientenspezifische interdisziplinäre Kooperation. Es werden aus plastisch-chirurgischer Sicht die aktuellen differentialtherapeutischen Optionen zur Weichgewebsdeckung, Thoraxwandstabilisierung und intrathorakalen Resthöhlensanierung vorgestellt und einer kritischen Wertung unterzogen.
