О проблеме коррекции деформаций грудной клетки на 23-м конгрессе Европейской Ассоциации Кардио-Торакальных Хирургов

С 17 по 21 октября в Вене проходил 23 конгресс Европейской Ассоциации Кардио-Торакальных Хирургов. Большое внимание было уделено хирургии грудной стенки и коррекциям врожденных деформаций грудной клетки.

17 октября целых день проходил Техно-Колледж, подготовленный профессором Вильм из Страссбурга. А 19 октября одна из сессий конгресса была полностью посвящена проблеме грудной клетки и деформациям.

040 BAR SHAPING METHOD FOR MINIMALLY INVASIVE PECTUS EXCAVATUM REPAIR: EXPANDING ITS ROLE TO ASYMMETRIES AND TO ADULTS           H.J. Park1, J.Y. Jeong1, W.M. Jo1, J.S. Shin1, I.S. Lee1, K.T.

Objectives: Asymmetric pectus excavatum (PE) has not been effectively corrected with the original Nuss technique which used only symmetric bars for all types, without consideration of asymmetry. To cover a wide variety of dysmorphology, we have been shaping the bar in different designs following our novel principle, the "Terrain Contour Matching (TERCOM), a morphology-tailored approach." We propose this bar shaping method for quality repair of asymmetric and adult PE.            Methods: A single surgeon s (HJP) experience with 1250 consecutive PE repairs between August 1999 and March 2009 was analysed. The bar shaping strictly followed the TERCOM principle; chest wall depression matches the convexity of the bar, and the protrusion matches the concavity – a notch in the bar. To appraise this approach, the Asymmetry Index for post-repair symmetry and Satisfaction Score (1–4, excellent to poor) were assessed.            Results: The mean age of patients was 10.4 years (16 months–51 years). In repair of 506 (40.5%) asymmetric patients, the asymmetric bar (n=491, 97.0%) for the eccentric type, and the seagull bar (n=238, 47.0%) for the unbalanced type were employed. Bar shaping for adults (age  16 years, n=284, 22.7%) and teenagers was the compound bar (n=276, 22.1%). The Asymmetry Index changed from 1.10 to 1.02 (P<0.001). Satisfaction Score of the eccentric asymmetry was equal to symmetric type (1.08 vs. 1.07, P=0.920) but the unbalanced asymmetry showed a higher score (1.18 vs. 1.07, P=0.005).            Conclusions: Most of the asymmetric PE could be "quality-repaired" with the morphology-tailored bar shaping (TERCOM) approach, except some misshapen unbalanced asymmetry, which may need a further measure.

 

041 VATS NUSS VERSUS RAVITCH CORRECTION OF PECTUS EXCAVATUM: AN EIGHT YEAR SINGLE CENTRE UK EXPERIENCE

Objectives: To compare pectus excavatum correction using VATS-guided Nuss bar placement vs. Ravitch repair.   
Methods: Between 2001 and 2009, 83 patients underwent correction for pectus excavatum: group 1, 16/83, using the Ravitch procedure (vertical midline incision with cartilage cutting and sternal osteotomy); group 2, 67/83, VATS-guided Nuss (convex steel bar inserted under the sternum through 2" bilateral thoracic incisions). One VATS procedure was converted to open. The bar was removed after three years for Nuss and after one year for Ravitch. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS.   
Results: There were significantly more males than females in both groups. Mean age: group 1, 29±11 years, group 2, 17±5.4 years (P<0.0005). Mean hospital stay: group 1, 10±8.5 days, group 2, 6.5±1.3 days (P=0.002). Previous pectus repair: group 1, 3/16, group 2, 1/83 (P=0.003). Wound infection: group 1, 8/16, group 2, 6/67 (P<0.0005). Pain: group 1, 1/16, group 2, 12/83 (P=0.069). Cosmetic approval: Nuss >Ravitch (P=0.005). Regression: group 1, 4/16, group 2, 0/83 (P<0.0005). There was no difference between the groups for other complications, i.e. pneumothorax, chest infection, effusions, and readmissions.   
Conclusions: VATS-guided insertion of the Nuss bar for correction of pectus excavatum is safe and has good cosmetic results compared to Ravitch repair. It is our procedure of choice for primary pectus excavatum up to 25 years of age. Beyond that age, pain is a major issue. VATS facilitates the safe creation of the retrosternal tunnel.
