The Schede and Modern Thoracoplasty Benjamin J. Pomerantz, Joseph C. Cleveland, Jr, Marvin Pomerantz  Operative Techniques in Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery  Volume 5, Issue 2, Pages 128-134 (May 2000) DOI: 10.1053/otct.2000.5076 Copyright © 2000 Elsevier Inc. Terms and Conditions

1 Patient positioning for a thoracoplasty is largely dependent on the location of the infected space, any previous operation, and which thoracoplasty technique is to be used. For Schede's thoracoplasty the patient is in the lateral decubitus position with the arm prepped into the operative field to facilitate repositioning of the arm and scapula during the resection. A large curvilinear incision is made posterior to the scapula parallel to the spine beginning at the superior aspect of the cavity. The incision is carried to the inferior edge of the cavity and then curved along the tip of the scapula ending approximately at the anterior axillary line.

2 Prone positioning of the patient illustrating the superior extent of the incision. Note the turn of the incision around the tip of the scapula. The incision is parallel to the spine and must be extended to the superior extent of the cavity to facilitate access to the first and second ribs.

3 A flap is created containing the skin and subcutaneous tissue. The skin flap is carried from the inferior edge of the incision to the superior aspect of the cavity. The flap must be large enough to collapse to the mediastinum when the ribs and costal tissue are removed. Any thickened tissue secondary to the chronic inflammation must be included with the specimen.

4 The skin and subcutaneous tissues have been mobilized from the thoracic cage. Ribs 1 through 4 are being reflected off the thickened visceral pleura. The parietal pleura and associated infected tissue are removed with the ribs, and this entire cavity will eventually be packed with gauze. When using this technique, the neurovascular bundle is resected along with the specimen. Careful attention must be paid to ensure adequate hemostasis.

5 The thoracoplasty is now completed, and ribs 1 through 4 have been completely resected. Opposing the skin and subcutaneous tissues to the cavity and subsequently packing the cavity with gauze will obliterate any remaining space.

6 Traditional thoracoplasty. The first, second, and third ribs have been entirely resected. Anteriorly, parts of the fourth and fifth ribs have been tailored to accommodate the collapse of this portion of the thoracic cage to the mediastinum, obliterating any remaining space.
