Anterior stabilization during thoracotomy, using the patient's own ribs, was carried out seven times in six subjects with malignant lesions of the thoracic vertebrae. The primary malignancy was lung carcinoma in four cases, thyroid carcinoma in one case, and alveolar soft tissue sarcoma in one. Resection of the lung tumor and spinal surgery were carried out simultaneously. Four of the six patients had complete paraplegia and two had partial paraplegia prior to the operation. After the decompression and anterior stabilization, three subjects responded well and three responded poorly because of respiratory insufficiency.
