title: [Breast wound reconstruction with plastic mesh].
abstract: A combined network plasty is presented which allows covering of thoracic wall defects without difficulties. The technique consists in closing the defect with a nylon netting in order to reestablish stability, and in air-tight covering of this netting with the greater omentum. This wound is covered after 10 to 14 days with split skin grafts. The method was applied to 7 patients with local recurrences of a breast cancer, two of them infected. The follow-up after 4 to 13 months reveals well-healed wounds in every case. The stomach is not altered, neither clinicallly nor in X-ray controls.
