pectus excavatum Aaron Stone M.D. Cosmetic and Reconstructive Plastic Surgeon Because of the great variablity of this congenital deformity among those who have it a custom made implant must be used. A plaster model is made of the deformity in the plastic surgeon's office. The model is then sent to the manufacturer who makes a custom silicone implant. Note that the abdomen appears to protrude due to the chest depression. After placement of the implant it appears to protrude less even though its position has not changed. Correction of pectus deformity surgery can enhance your appearance and your self confidence. Realistic expectations are important to be happy with any surgery.

Home Contact Us Newsletter Sign-up Medical Services Our Services Medical Services Community Programs Online Services Pectus Excavatum What is Pectus Excavatum? Pectus Excavatum , or funnel chest, is a deformity that occurs in approximately 1 in 500 to 1,000 children, and is often referred to as "sunken" or "funnel" chest. In this condition, the lower half of the breastbone, or sternum, and the cartilages become deformed, creating a depression in the chest. The depression can be in the center of the chest, or off to one side. It can be mild or deep. It often is mild or does not exist in very young children, and develops or deepens with growth. The deformity is not purely cosmetic. When moderate or severe it can cause abnormalities of the heart or lungs. It can lead to serious problems with breathing. It can cause difficulty during exercise due to an inability to get enough oxygen into the body. It can cause the individual to tire easily. It can cause asthma, or an increase in infections of the lungs. In approximately 15% of people scoliosis is present. Spontaneous improvement does not occur. Minimally Invasive Procedure The deformity may be surgically corrected with a minimally invasive procedure. Traditional surgery for Pectus Excavatum involves dividing the breastbone and the ribs or connecting cartilages. It can be painful, and may leave a very large scar on the chest. Minimally invasive surgery results in less blood loss compared to the traditional or standard surgery. A minimally invasive procedure has been developed to reduce many of these complications. This procedure involves inserting a small scope into the chest. A metal bar, which has been prebent to the desired corrective position, is then inserted across the chest. No bone or cartilage is cut.

Alternative Names: Funnel chest Considerations: Pectus excavatum is a congenital abnormality that can be mild or fairly marked. The child typically has a depression in the center of the chest over the sternum, and this may appear quite deep. It is caused by excessive growth of the costosternal cartilage (the connective tissue joining the ribs to the breastbone), with resulting inward deformity of the sternum. If pectus excavatum is severe, it may affect the underlying organs (heart and lungs) leading to exercise intolerance or other problems. In addition, the cosmetic appearance of a pectus excavatum may pose a psychological difficulty. Pectus excavatum may occur as the only abnormality, or in association with other syndromes.

Pectus excavatum repair Normal anatomy Pectus excavatum is a deformity of the front of the chest wall with depression of the breastbone (sternum) and rib (costal) cartilages Review Date: 06/25/01 Reviewed By: A.D.A.M. Medical Illustration Team Indications Repair of pectus excavatum may be recommended for: improved appearance (cosmetic repair) improved breathing (respiratory function) Review Date: 06/25/01 Reviewed By: A.D.A.M. Medical Illustration Team Procedure While the child is deep asleep and pain-free (using general anesthesia), an incision is made over the breastbone (sternum). The deformed cartilage are removed and the rib lining is left in place to allow re-growth of the cartilage. An incision is made in the sternum and it is repositioned. A rib or metal strut may be used to stabilize the sternum in normal position until healing occurs in 3 to 6 months. A chest tube may be placed to re-expand the lung if the lining of the lung is entered. Metal struts are removed 6 months later through a small skin incision under the arm. This procedure is usually done as an outpatient. Review Date: 06/25/01 Reviewed By: A.D.A.M. Medical Illustration Team
