Several operations for asphyxiating thoracic dystrophy (ATD) have been used previously, but they all have disadvantages. We report a 25-year-old male ATD patient who had significant depressions on both sides of thorax. We designed a special operation for him, which had not only eliminated the depression, but also increased the volume of the thorax. The results show that this operation is a reasonable choice for this kinds of patient.
此前已采用多种手术治疗窒息性胸廓发育不良(ATD),但均存在缺点。我们报告一名25岁男性ATD患者,其胸廓两侧有明显凹陷。我们为他设计了一种特殊手术,该手术不仅消除了凹陷,还增加了胸廓容积。结果表明,这种手术对于此类患者是一种合理的选择。
