Morphometric changes in the chest after surgical narrowing of the waist using the Kudzaev method

Objective. A new technique for waist narrowing by means of osteotomy and osteoclasia lower ribs followed fixation in a tightening thoracolumbar corset was proposed patented 2017. The preliminary results showed its high efficiency safety, but data on the morphological changes chest general have not yet been published. purpose this study to analyze patients after using computed tomography (CT). Material methods. 57 surgeries were performed period 2017–2020. All female, mean age (35.6 ± 5.0) years old. Of patients, 21 underwent before 3 months surgery. remaining 36 did undergo CT various reasons. Based data, retrospective performed. We compared inner outer diameter at level 10 th rib surgery these with circumference. Results. preoperative value internal (25.3 2.1) cm, measure decreased (22.9 2.7) difference (2.4 1.0) cm (9.6%). average (from skin skin) from (29.0 0.8) (26.0 1.9) (10.1%). At same time, circumference (8.4 3.5) an 73.1 4.7 (64.7 4.4) (11.1%). In 18 out cases, complete union observed, there atrophic non-union no Conclusion. analysis that 85.7% osteotomized united. It led irreversible part thus persistent decrease
