The thoracic wall resections for tumoral affections are laborious surgical interventions characterized by a high mortality and mobility. In order to create this paper we created a observational retrospective study in which we included 21 patients that have underwent parietal thoracic resections for tumoral affections. In all the patients we practiced the reconstruction of the thoracic wall using polypropylene mesh. The main postoperative complications were: seromas (14.28% of the cases), hematomas (9.52% of the cases), wound infection (4.76% of the cases), pneumonia (23.8% of the cases), respiratory failure (23.8% of the cases), paradoxical movement of the thoracic wall (52.38% of the cases). No deceases were recorded. In conclusion, the use of polypropylene mesh in the reconstructive techniques of the thoracic wall after thoracic wall resection represents a viable method, with good respiratory functional results.

Complications associated with implantation of polypropylene mesh in dogs and cats were evaluated retrospectively. Immediate postoperative complications were common (in 10 of 20 cases) but predominantly involved seroma formation which resolved with treatment. The only long-term (i.e., six months or more) complication identified was mass recurrence at the site of tumor resection (in seven of 14 cases). Recurrence was affected by resection size. The average number of ribs resected in cases of thoracic wall neoplasia (with and without mass recurrence) was 1.8 and 3.5, respectively. In this study, implantation of polypropylene mesh facilitated the reconstruction of large tissue defects and was not associated with any serious complications.
