    Extractions: The Walter Lorenz Pectus Support Bar and stabilizers are surgical implants intended to aid treatment of Pectus Excavatum deformity. The Pectus Support Bar provides the surgeon with a means to reposition bony structures (sternum, breastbone) by applying internal force outwardly eliminating the funnel shape deformity. The device should be removed when remodeling is evident. The Pectus Support Bar and stabilizers are made from Stainless Steel, ASTM F 138. The Pectus Support Bar provides the surgeon with a means of treating Pectus Excavatum, funnel chest, a congenital deformity often accompanied by shortness of breath in children. The device is not intended to replace chest wall structures. While the device is intended to expand the chest wall cavity eliminating the features of the deformity, the degree of initial reshaping and permanent remodeling for each case cannot be predetermined.

    http://maxshouse.com/pectus_excavatum.htm
    
    Extractions: Pectus excavatum (PE) is a deformity of the sternum and costocartilages that results in a dorsal to ventral narrowing of the thorax. Pectus carinatum is a protrusion of the sternum that occurs much less frequently than PE. Synonyms for PE include funnel chest, chondrosternal depression, chonechondrosternon, koilosternia and trichterbust. The cause or causes of PE in animals are unknown. Theories proposed include shortening of the central tendon of the diaphragm, intrauterine pressure abnormalities, and congenital deficiency of the musculature in the cranial portion of the diaphragm. Abnormal respiratory gradients appear to play a role in the development of this disease in some animals, as brachycephalic dogs are most commonly affected, many of which have concurrent hypoplastic tracheas. PE may be associated with "swimmer's syndrome," which is a poorly characterized disease of neonatal dogs in which the limbs tend to splay laterally, impairing ambulation. Abnormalities of the joints of the limbs and the long bones may also occur. Although the etiology of PE is uncertain. multiple animals in some litters have been affected; thus breeding should not be undertaken and affected animals should be neutered.

One-year-old girl was admitted because of recurrent pneumonia and pectus excavatum. Chest X-ray showed hyperlucency at the upper lung field and infiltrated shadow at the lower field of the left lung. Bronchoscopy and bronchograms revealed marked collapse in a long segment of the left main bronchus during expiration. CT scan showed an emphysematous change and a giant bulla of left lung. Angiogram showed right aortic arch. Sternoturnover was performed at 5 years of age for pectus excavatum. After 10 months, left pneumonectomy was performed for bronchomalacia and lobar emphysema. Pathologic findings of the bronchus revealed that the rings were flattened, while the cartilage was microscopically normal. Aorta, Thoracic/ab [Abnormalities]

    Extractions: Pectus excavatum Pectus excavatum is the most common congenital chest wall deformity, also known as "funnel chest" or "sunken chest." It involves a depression of the anterior chest wall and the sternum. It is often present at birth and is usually noted within the first year of life. Pectus excavatum tends to run in the family and occurs more frequently in boys than girls. The cause is still unknown. There is an association of pectus excavatum with other musculoskeletal abnormalities such as Marfan's syndrome or scoliosis. The extent of deformity and symptoms from pectus excavatum range from mild to severe. A pectus is usually well tolerated in infancy or childhood. An operation to correct the deformity may be indicated if there are severe symptoms related to lung or heart functionparticularly if diagnostic tests document these limitations. Cosmetic and psycho-social considerations may also lead to a decision to operate on a child with pectus. The decision to perform a corrective procedure for pectum excavatum must be made carefully, allowing time for consideration of the risks and benefits by both parents and children. The operation The operative management of pectum excavatum has evolved over time. Since the 1940s, pectus excavatum has been treated by removal of the cartilage connecting some of the ribs to the sternum along with cutting through part of the sternum to allow it to be pulled forward. Over the last decade a less invasive approach to pectus excavatum has been developed.

    Extractions: @import "/css/style.css"; Home About the Hospitals Donate or Volunteer Contact Us ... 2002 Press Releases December 13, 2002 A new minimally invasive procedure offers patients suffering from pectus excavatumcommonly known as funnel chestbetter results than conventional surgery. In the Chicago area, the procedure is being performed at the University of Chicago Children's Hospital (UCCH). Pectus excavatum is a congenital malformation of the chest cavity. Thousands of children suffer from it. Patients with this deformity experience shortness of breath, the result of compressed lungs. Conventional surgery for pectus excavatum required the breastbone to be broken and repositioned. A short bar was then wired to the ribs. Patients were left with a large chest scar. It took weeks to recover from the surgery. Postoperative complications, such as a stiff chest, were common. Now, UCCH offers a new approach based on a technique known as the Nuss procedure. This minimally invasive surgery (MIS) requires only a one-inch incision made on each side of the chest. A thoracoscope and a surgical steel U-shaped bar are threaded underneath the rib cage. The bar is then rotated 180 degrees to move the chest into the normal position. Patients are released from the hospital within a few days with only small scars on their chest. Donald Liu, MD, chief of pediatric surgery at UCCH, performed the first Nuss procedures at UCCH last summer. Liu will perform the procedure on two more patients on Friday, Dec. 13, 2002.

    Extractions: Although surgery is needed only in more severe cases, the operation that has been available since 1910 to correct pectus is brutal. A doctor slices open the child's chest, removes the ribs, cuts out a piece of the breastbone, elevates the breastbone and replaces the ribs. In the 1950s, doctors also began inserting a steel bar to support the breastbone.

     http://www.findarticles.com/cf_dls/m0984/6_119/76427046/p1/article.jhtml
     
     Extractions: Pectus excavatum has never been reported to cause hypercapnic respiratory failure. In this report, we describe the first such case in a young woman with severe pectus excavatum who presented with chronic respiratory acidosis, pulmonary hypertension, and chronic cor pulmonale. An extensive diagnostic workup failed to uncover any other cause of respiratory acidosis, which led us to conclude that the severe chest wall deformity and the resulting severe restrictive defect were responsible for the development of chronic respiratory acidosis and cor pulmonale. (CHEST 2001; 119:1957-1961) Key words: alveolar hypoventilation; cor pulmonale; pectus excavatum; respiratory failure
