Management of complications after chest wall resection and reconstruction: a narrative review.

Interestingly, the mean reductions in pulmonary function tests were affected by concurrent lung resection (P<0.001) and the anterolateral location of the chest wall defect (P=0.026) but not by the resection of three or more ribs, while the impact of sternal resection was observed to be marginally significant (P=0.079).
