Abstract
Our initial experience of using bioprosthetic patches for soft tissue reconstruction in thoracic surgery has proven satisfactory with overall acceptable results. The infection rates are low even when a proportion of procedures were performed under contaminated environments. Biologic prosthesis should be part of the surgical options to reconstruct soft tissues in thoracic surgery.
