  • Abstract
    We describe a variation of the technique of transthoracic forequarter amputation, consisting of a completely anterior approach, removal of the left forequarter en bloc with the chest wall and lung, and sparing of the scapula. This latter bone is mobilized and is used, along with the transposition of the lower ribs, to stabilize the chest wall.
