Since 2002, the Eckart Klobe vacuum has been used in our Service as an innovate and non-invasive procedure in patients with pectus excavatum. This vacuum method contributes not only to hold promise as a valuable adjunct in minimally invasive surgery, but also as an effective method to lift and fix the funnel for repairing pectus excavatum in some patients. Our experience is limited to the use of this device in 10 patients, during the Nuss technique. This procedure has been useful for safer passage of the introducer, and as a definitive treatment in a 10 years old girl with pectus excavatum and a Haller index of 5.1 with successful result after one year of treatment. The aim of this study is to report the safety and efficacy of this procedure in appropriate patients. Long-term results will be necessary to confirm this method as an alternative to more invasive techniques.
自2002年以来，埃卡特·克洛贝真空装置在我们的科室被用作治疗漏斗胸患者的一种创新且非侵入性的方法。这种真空方法不仅有望成为微创手术中有价值的辅助手段，而且在某些患者中也是提升和固定漏斗以修复漏斗胸的有效方法。我们的经验仅限于在努斯手术期间将该装置用于10例患者。该方法有助于引导器更安全地通过，并且对于一名10岁漏斗胸女孩（哈勒指数为5.1）而言是一种确定性治疗方法，治疗一年后取得了成功。本研究的目的是报告该方法在合适患者中的安全性和有效性。需要长期结果来证实该方法可作为更具侵入性技术的替代方法。
