The principle of sternal resections and reconstructions is an adequate radical resection associated with the maintenance of chest stability for lung function as well as an acceptable cosmetic result [1]. A critical point in anterior chest wall reconstruction is a suitable prosthetic replacement that is able to restore the rigidity of the chest and prevent paradoxical motion [1]. Today, no consensus exists on which is the ideal prosthesis material and the optimal technique to reconstruct chest wall defect, and the decision still remains on the surgeon’s choice [1].

Synthetic materials such as polypropylene mesh, polyester mesh, polytetrafluoroethylene mesh, expanded polytetrafluoroethylene mesh, polyglactin 910 mesh can be used to reconstruct the chest wall defect after resection. They are relatively cheap and have high affinity for tissue growth, but its lack of rigidity in patients with extensive defec...
