Abstract

Planning of surgical correction of the chest wall deformity in Poland’s syndrome depends primarily on the severity of the condition and the different types of tissues involved. This may include some or all of the following components: skin and subcutaneous tissues, breast, muscle(s), rib(s), and other skeletal deformities such as scoliosis. The treatment is therefore, tailored to the needs of the patient. The deformity in females has the added dimension of breast asymmetry that may require augmentation or total breast reconstruction.
