Abstract

Background: This report presents early results of surgical experience of minimal invasive extrathoracic presternal compression using a metal bar for correction of the pectus carinatum. Methods: From February 2008 to February 2012, 15 patients with combined pectus carinatum and pectus excavatum underwent minimal invasive extrathoracic presternal compression using a metal bar for correction of pectus carinatum and Nuss operation for pectus excavatum. After 2 years, bar removal was done in all patients. In this paper, we focused on pectus carinatum repair. The effects and complications of the minimally invasive extrathoracic presternal compression using a metal bar for correction of pectus carinatum were reviewed. Results: The median age was 15.7 years. The mean operation time for pectus carinatum with pectus excavatum was 122 min. The median length of hospitalization was 6 days. The Haller pectus index of pectus carinatum was 2.93 ± 0.36 pre-operatively and this was increased to 3.33 ± 0.61 post-operatively. There were no special complications. The degree of satisfaction of pectus carinatum correction was 3.75 ± 0.46 (range 1-4). Conclusion: Our results were favorable in spite of the small number of cases and short follow-up, and our modified technique of pectus carinatum was easy and simple. However, long-term follow-up is needed to accurately evaluate the effects of this surgery in many cases. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Mesenchymal hamartoma of the chest wall is a rare, benign chondro-osseous tumor of the bone. Although it most commonly presents at birth or soon after, prenatal detection is rare. We report a case of prenatally detected mesenchymal hamartoma, and provide the rationale, details, and outcomes of our management. The literature is reviewed, with particular attention to prenatal detection and postnatal management options.

Abstract

Extensive paediatric chest wall resections and reconstructions are a surgical challenge. Chest wall reconstruction is well known to be associated with chest wall deformity, scoliosis and restrictive lung disease. We describe, via illustrative cases, the technical innovation of paediatric chest wall reconstruction following tumour resection with titanium rib replacement. The results from this chest wall reconstruction technique have been cosmetically excellent. Both cases, following significant chest wall resections, did not require post-operative ventilation and have returned to normal function. This Novel Paediatric Chest wall reconstruction technique is ideally suitable after extensive chest wall resection. It has provided stability and protection of underlying viscera and may prevent scoliosis.
