AbstractPectus carinatum has traditionally been described as a rare chest wall anomaly in comparison to pectus excavatum. However, recent data from chest wall anomaly clinics demonstrate that this deformity is probably much more frequent than once believed. In the past, invasive surgical correction by the Ravitch technique was essentially the only option for treatment of pectus carinatum. Major advances over the past two decades have provided additional options, including noninvasive chest wall bracing and minimally invasive surgical correction. This article will discuss current options for the treatment of pectus carinatum, and some of the factors that should be taken into account when choosing the options available. Diagnosis and treatment of the pectus arcuatum variant will also be described.

Reconstructive Techniques

Analysis and surgical management of chest wall deformities involves understanding complex congenital and acquired conditions and well as the full spectrum of reconstructive techniques. Congenital chest wall deformity includes pectus excavatum, pectus carinatum, and Poland syndrome. In surgical correction of these conditions, timing and the understanding of the growing child is important. Traumatic chest wall deformities present a different set of challenges, especially as the context is often a very unwell patient. As cardiothoracic surgeons push the boundaries of what is possible in patients with ischaemic heart disease, iatrogenic defects are not uncommon, and repair of such defects is described. Lastly, this chapter covers surgery for the coverage of major tumour resection defects in oncological surgery.

New Techniques

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-operative treatment of pectus deformity, the importance of a welltimed intervention and special considerations in patients with Marfan syndrome.

Cosmetic Problem

Chest wall deformities are principally depression deformities, the most common being pectus excavatum (funnel chest). The most common protrusion deformity is pectus carinatum (pigeon breast). Pectus carinatum is a cosmetic problem, but its presence can be psychologically devastating to the patient. Pectus excavatum is definitely a physiologic problem, the effects of which may be reversible by surgical correction. Surgery is safe, complications are minimal, and results are usually satisfactory.

Operative Korrektur

ZusammenfassungBrustwanddeformitäten im Kindes- und Jugendalter sind als Ganzes betrachtet relativ häufig, wobei sie ein weites Spektrum von zum Teil sehr seltenen Entitäten umfassen. Pectus excavatum hat die höchste Prävalenz, es können symptomatische und asymptomatische Fälle auftreten. Symptomatische Patienten sollten behandelt werden, wobei die minimalinvasive operative Korrektur als effektiveres Verfahren neben der Saugglockenbehandlung die größte Rolle spielt. Pectus carinatum und Mischformen der Brustwanddeformität können ebenfalls zu einem erheblichen Leidensdruck führen und bedürfen in solchen Fällen einer individualisierten Therapie. Syndromale Brustwanddeformitäten wie beispielsweise das Jeune-Syndrom bilden eine eigene Gruppe von sehr seltenen Erkrankungen, die erhebliche, zum Teil auch lebensbedrohliche Komorbiditäten aufweisen. Solche Patienten sollten in Zentren mit entsprechender Expertise interdisziplinär und multimodal behandelt werden. Diese Übersichtsarbeit stellt die einzelnen Brustwanderkrankungen, deren Bedeutung und mögliche Therapieansätze vor.
