Minimal access treatment of pectus carinatum: a preliminary report

Abstract: Despite a small series, this method offers a minimal access repair of PC, which is comparable to the technique used for PE. The invasiveness of our method is obviously far less, than of those different open surgical techniques performed worldwide presently. Our postoperative results warrant the application of this technique in patients with PC.

“…Alternative minimally invasive techniques for the repair of PC have also been introduced by several authors [12][13][14][15], the most popular one being the intra-extrathoracic placement of a steel bar. This technique seems to work as well as the pre-sternal bar placement, yet it is more invasive, necessitating thoracoscopic guidance.…”

“…In the last few years, a plethora of procedures using minimal access techniques for PC correction have been published [14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. These procedures, now popularly known as the "Abramson" or "reverse Nuss" procedures, are associated with unclear indications, have shown variable results, and are simply too new to judge [14][15][16][17][18][19][20].…”

“…Specific eight-hole stabilizers are though required. -Minimal access treatment of PC (Hock, 2009): the bar is inserted as in Abramson procedure through two lateral incisions above the sternum, but it passes on both sides into the thoracic cavities; thoracoscopy was not used. Reactive PC after Nuss procedure can be simply corrected with the withdrawal of the bar; in case of failure or in other cases an open procedure is advised; alternatively a mini-invasive technique can be attempted.…”
