Cryoablation in 350 Nuss Procedures: Evolution of Hospital Length of Stay and Opioid Use

Krista Lai et al.

Summary: This study assessed the relationship between cryoablation and clinical outcomes for the Nuss procedure and found that with increased experience, cryoablation can significantly reduce opioid use after surgery and allow for early discharge in 80% of patients.

Modified Nuss procedure for the treatment of pectus excavatum: Experience of 259 patients

Hao Li et al.

Summary: This study retrospectively analyzed data from 259 patients with pectus excavatum who were treated with modified Nuss procedure between August 2020 and August 2021. The results showed that the modified Nuss procedure had optimistic outcomes with minimal invasion and low complication rate. It can be potentially applied to other hospitals in the future.

Minimally invasive repair of asymmetric pectus excavatum: An alternative technique to treating asymmetric morphology

Anthony I. Squillaro et al.

Summary: For the repair of asymmetric pectus excavatum, precise introducer chest insertion and extraction, as well as emphasizing the direction of introducer passage, are important. This technique allows for simultaneous correction of chest asymmetry and depression, resulting in excellent symmetric appearance.

Pectus cross bars increase hospital readmission rates due to serous pleural effusion

Bihter Sayan et al.

Summary: This study compared the parallel and crossed bar variations of the Nuss method in the surgical treatment of Pectus Excavatum (PE). Results showed no significant differences in age, gender, and mean operation time between the two groups, but significant differences were found in deformity symmetry, patients' family history, and additional anomalies. The difference in postoperative hospital stay was clinically negligible, but there was a significant increase in hospital readmission rates due to serious pleural effusion in patients with crossed bars.

The Epidemiology behind Pectus Excavatum: Clinical Study and Review of the Literature

Katja Kloth et al.

Summary: Pectus excavatum (PE) is the most common deformity of the chest wall, often associated with syndromic diseases but can also occur in isolated form. Family history suggests a genetic background for PE, with potential genetic factors contributing to inheritance risk of isolated PE.

Trends in the Treatment of Pectus Excavatum in the Netherlands

Wietse P. Zuidema et al.

Summary: The birth rate in the Netherlands has remained stable over the past two decades, but the number of patients seeking surgical correction for pectus excavatum (PE) has increased. Additionally, there has been a rise in the percentage of thoracoscopic assisted correction procedures. The popularity of minimal invasive surgical correction of PE (MIRPE) is increasing over time.

Cardiopulmonary function in adolescent patients with pectus excavatum or carinatum

Salim Ramadan et al.

Summary: A retrospective analysis of data from 76 adolescent patients revealed associations between pectus excavatum (PE) and airway obstruction, restrictive syndrome, and decreased lung capacity, while pectus carinatum (PC) did not impact pulmonary function. The study confirmed a modest impact of pectus malformations on cardiopulmonary function at rest, with potential for new correction indexes to help characterize these malformations and guide therapeutic management.

Michele Torre et al.

Summary: Complication risk in minimally invasive repair of pectus excavatum (MIRPE) is relatively high, especially during the surgeon's learning curve. Postoperative complications are more common and severe complications can occur during bar removal.

Summary: This study analyzed 168 adult patients who underwent surgical repair for pectus excavatum through the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database. The research revealed similar complication rates between minimally invasive and open repairs, with minimally invasive repair leading to shorter operative times.
