Chest Wall Resection and Reconstruction

Chest wall resection removes tumours or infected tissue, followed by reconstruction to maintain stability and breathing mechanics.

MOH Fee Benchmarks indicate:
• Surgeon fee: SGD 14,500 – 21,500
• Anaesthetist fee: Not available

Coverage is generally robust for:
• Oncologic or complex reconstructive surgery
• Prolonged hospitalisation

Document functional reconstruction, not cosmetic chest surgery.

Chest wall reconstruction preserves respiratory function. Insurance must match complexity.
