“…In our case, the surgical treatment included anterior chest wall resection with the removal of deep muscle, ribs, and sternum to achieve an appropriate safety margin. While resection of the thoracic wall with massive defect is generally followed with the high mortality, with current use of modern preoperative, operative, and drug treatment, it is feasible to perform these large operations with reasonable mortality [3].…”

“…No total, apenas 27 pacientes (32%) foram submetidos a uma tentativa de reversão do trânsito intestinal 1 . Isso exemplifica o fato de que a colostomia à Hartmann é realizada em pacientes com condições clínicas ruins ou com doença tumoral mais avançada, resultando em altas taxas de morbimortalidade tanto na operação de ressecção e confecção da colostomia à Hartmann, quanto na tentativa de reversão da colostomia.As taxas de morbidade da operação de reconstrução do trânsito intestinal após procedimento de Hartmann variam entre 10% e 50%, e as de mortalidade chegam até 28% 7,8 . Além disso, aproximadamente um terço dos pacientes submetidos à operação de Hartmann permanecem com colostomia permanente, como mencionado, seja pelo…”
