Pectus excavatum (PE) is one of the most common congenital deformities of the thorax and is characterized by a depressed sternum with reduction of the antero-posterior thoracic diameter. Although the majority of patients with PE have no physiologic limitations, it is often associated with psychological problems influencing the patients' quality of life. Surgical treatment options show particular variation with regard to invasiveness and morbidity of the respective procedures. Surgical treatment using a custom-made silicone implant represents a less invasive alternative for patients without further accompanying physical symptoms. This article describes the simultaneous correction of a PE combined with tubular breast deformity using this minimally invasive technique.
漏斗胸(PE)是最常见的先天性胸廓畸形之一,其特征为胸骨凹陷,前后胸径减小。尽管大多数 PE 患者没有生理限制,但它常与影响患者生活质量的心理问题相关。手术治疗方案在侵袭性和各自手术的发病率方面存在明显差异。对于没有其他伴随身体症状的患者,使用定制硅胶植入物的手术治疗代表了一种微创选择。本文描述了使用这种微创技术同时矫正 PE 合并管状乳房畸形。
