    Abstract Sternal involvement in patients with breast cancer is relatively rare and its treatment is still controversial. Surgery is usually indicated in cases of single metastases in a multimodality protocol. Partial or complete sternectomy associated or not with the resection of surrounding tissues is the technique of choice to obtain safety margins and radical treatment of the disease. The most challenging part of the operation is the reconstruction of the anterior chest wall in order to avoid secondary complications and respiratory failure. In the last few years, different techniques and materials have been used to reconstruct the sternum. We report our experience in two patients with recurrent breast cancer using the sternal allograft technique to replace the sternum after partial sternectomy. The use of a sternal-allograft provides excellent functional and cosmetic results without complications during the follow-up period. The implantation technique is simple and reproducible.

    Abstract Objective: The systemic or topical use of antifibrinolytic agents is effective in reducing postoperative bleeding and blood product transfusion in cardiac surgery. We sought to study the effect of the topical application of tranexamic acid into the pleural space to reduce postoperative bleeding after lung surgery.
    Methods: This was a prospective randomised double blind placebo controlled investigation. From May-2010 to February-2012, 89-patients, scheduled for pulmonary resection, were randomly allocated to one of the two study groups. Group-A received 5 g of tranexamic-acid in 100 ml of saline solution. Group-B received 100 ml of saline solution as placebo.
    Results: The blood loss in the first 12-h was significantly less in group-A. The same trend was observed in the first 24-h but without reaching a true statistical significance. The mean volume of blood transfusion was statistically lower in group-A. The analysis between post-operative haemoglobin concentration, haematocrit, platelet-count, international-normalised-ratio, fibrinogen and partial-thromboplastin-time of both groups was not statistically significant.
    Conclusion: In our experience, the topical use of tranexamic-acid after lung surgery reduces postoperative bleeding and blood transfusion volume. The topical administration of tranexamic-acid is safe without increasing the risk of post-operative complications related to pharmacological side-effects.

    Abstract Desmoid tumours have a strong tendency for local invasion and recurrence. A 70 year-old male presented with cervical and left shoulder pain associated with a supraclavicular mass. The computed-tomography showed an expansive lesion measuring 10 cm × 6 cm × 5.5 cm in the left supraclavicular space. At magnetic resonance imaging the subclavian vessels and the brachial plexus were dislocated anteriorly but not infiltrated. An incisional biopsy suggested a desmoid tumour. An anterior cervicothoracic approach was used to remove the tumour. The chest wall was reconstructed with titanium bars and a polytetrafluoroethylene-patch. The clavicle was fixed using a titanium clip. The post-operative course was uneventful. The patient was treated with adjuvant radiation therapy. After six months the patient is in good clinical condition free from disease recurrence. In conclusion, desmoid tumour of the thoracic outlet is a challenging situation. Wide radical resection should be attempted whenever possible. The Dartevelle approach gives an optimal surgical field with direct control of vessels and nerve roots facilitating tumour dissection and radical resection en-bloc with the chest wall. The chest wall reconstruction with titanium bars and clips is a simple and effective method to guarantee good respiratory function and to stabilise the shoulder girdle.
