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.

In minimally invasive surgery, needle is one of the most common devices that used to conduct different diagnosis and treatment tasks. In this paper, coordinates of articulated needle while being steered are studied. After analyzing bending directions, a simplified model of articulated needle is established. Accordingly, formulas for calculating the coordinates of important points in an articulated needle are got in both two dimensional and three dimensional spaces. By providing a theoretical basis for the steering of an articulated needle, its navigation accuracy can be improved.
