Chest wall reconstruction is a surgical procedure aimed at restoring the integrity and function of the chest wall, which may be damaged due to trauma, cancer, infection, or congenital defects. The chest wall plays a vital role in protecting the thoracic organs, supporting the respiratory system, and maintaining the shape of the chest. Therefore, any defect or deformity of the chest wall can have significant functional and aesthetic consequences for the patient. The authors present a case report at Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) of a dyspneic 47-year-old male patient with a right anterolateral chest wall defect post-pneumonectomy previously complicated by bronchopleural fistula. Past attempts at the chest wall reconstruction had utilized the ipsilateral latissimus dorsi muscle, pectoralis major muscle, and the omental pedicled flaps with limited success. A chimeric anterolateral thigh (ALT) perforator-free flap with vastus lateralis (VL) muscle was used to obliterate the post-pneumonectomy intrathoracic dead space and to provide a cutaneous paddle. This case report aims to show the versatility of the ALT flap for chest wall reconstruction to prevent the post-pneumonectomy syndrome associated with tracheal deviation, inspiratory stridor, and exertional dyspnea. In conclusion, chest wall reconstruction with obliteration of intrathoracic dead space post-pneumonectomy is challenging and needs careful planning and execution. 展开更多
