Difficulties and limitations in minimally invasive repair of pectus excavatum--6 years experiences with Nuss technique.
OBJECTIVE In 1998, Dr Donald Nuss proposed minimally invasive repair of pectus excavatum (MIRPE) which did not require the osteochondrous parts of the anterior chest wall to be resected. The paper aims at presenting the authors' own 6 years of experience in funnel chest repair with MIRPE technique. Also, many technical problems of this method are discussed. MATERIALS AND METHODS Between 1999 ...
متن کاملPectus updates and special considerations in Marfan syndrome
Congenital chest wall or pectus deformities including pectus excavatum (funnel chest) and pectus carinatum (pigeon chest) affect a significant proportion of the general population and up to 70% of patients with Marfan syndrome. Patients often experience significant morbidity and psychological distress, which can worsen with age. Here we discuss new techniques for both operative and non-operativ...
متن کاملExercise improvement after pectus excavatum repair is not related to chest wall function.
OBJECTIVES In patients undergoing corrective surgery for pectus excavatum, there is evidence of improvement in cardiopulmonary function. It is unclear how much of this improvement is attributable to improved chest wall function. Thus, we observed changes in chest wall function in response to an incremental load exercise pre- and postoperatively. METHODS Using optoelectronic plethysmography, t...
متن کاملComparative pulmonary functional recovery after Nuss and Ravitch procedures for pectus excavatum repair: a meta-analysis
BACKGROUND Pectus excavatum (PE) is a common chest wall malformation, with surgery being the only method known to correct the defect. Although the Nuss and Ravitch procedures are commonly used, there is no consensus as to whether surgical repair improves pulmonary function. We therefore investigated whether pulmonary function recovers after surgical repair, and if recovery is dependent on the t...
متن کاملPectus excavatum and cardiac dysfunction: a case report with pre- and post-operative haemodynamic studies.
A 48-year-old man with severe pectus excavatum presented with incapacitating supraventricular tachycardia, paroxysmal in nature and invariably provoked by exercise. During mild supine leg exercise on a bicycle ergometer an abnormal increase in right heart pressures, particularly in the right atrium, was observed, followed immediately by supraventricular tachycardia. The latter was also shown du...
