  • The Novel Use of Nuss Bars for Reconstruction of a Massive Flail Chest
    BRIEF TECHNIQUE REPORTS The novel use of Nuss bars for reconstruction of a massive flail chest Paul E. Pacheco, MD,a Alex R. Orem, BA,a Ravindra K. Vegunta, MD, FACS,a,b Richard C. Anderson, MD, FACS,a,b and Richard H. Pearl, MD, FACS,a,b Peoria, Ill We present the case of a patient who sustained a massive flail chest from a snowmobile accident. All ribs of the right side of the chest were fractured. Nonoperative management was unsuccessful. Previously reported methods of rib stabiliza- tion were precluded given the lack of stable chest wall ele- ments to fixate or anchor the flail segments. We present a novel surgical treatment in which Nuss bars can be used for stabilization of the most severe flail chest injuries, when reconstruction of the chest is necessary and fixation of fractured segments is infeasible owing to adjacent chest wall instability. CLINICAL SUMMARY The patient was a 40-year-old male snowmobile driver who was hit by a train. Evaluation revealed severe multiple right-sided rib fractures, right scapular and clavicular frac- tures, and a left femur fracture. A thoracostomy tube was placed and intubation with mechanical ventilation instituted. With stability, he was taken for intramedullary nailing of the femur. Despite conventional efforts, he was unable to be weaned from the ventilator inasmuch as he consistently FIGURE 1.

Recurrence; Methods: Fifty patients with recurrent pectus excavatum underwent a secondary repair using the Reoperative surgery minimally invasive technique. Data were reviewed for preoperative symptomatology, surgical data, and postoperative results. Results: Prior repairs included 27 open Ravitch procedures, 23 minimally invasive (Nuss) procedures, and 2 Leonard procedures. The prior Leonard patients were also prior Ravitches and are therefore counted only once in the analyses. The median age was 16.0 years (range, 3-25 years). The median computed tomography index was 5.3 (range, 2.9-20). Presenting symptoms included shortness of breath (80%), chest pain (70%), asthma or asthma symptoms (26%), and frequent upper respiratory tract infections (14%). Both computed tomography scan and physical exam confirmed cardiac compression and cardiac displacement. Cardiology evaluations confirmed cardiac compression (62%), cardiac displacement (72%), mitral valve prolapse (22%), murmurs (24%), and other cardiac abnormalities (30%). Preoperative pulmonary function tests demonstrated values below 80% normal in more than 50% of patients.

  • Diminished Pulmonary Function in Pectus Excavatum: from Denying the Problem to Finding the Mechanism
    Featured Article Diminished pulmonary function in pectus excavatum: from denying the problem to finding the mechanism Robert E. Kelly Jr, Robert J. Obermeyer, Donald Nuss Departments of Surgery and Pediatrics, Children’s Hospital of The King’s Daughters, Eastern Virginia Medical School, Norfolk, Virginia, USA Correspondence to: Robert E. Kelly, Jr., MD, Surgeon-in-Chief. Children’s Hospital of The King’s Daughters, 601 Children’s Lane, Ste. 5B, Norfolk, Virginia, USA. Email: [email protected]; [email protected]. Background: Recently, technical improvement in the ability to measure lung function and the severity of chest deformity have enabled progress in understanding the mechanism of limitations of lung function in pectus excavatum. Methods: After establishing that most patients with pectus excavatum do have symptoms of exercise intolerance, easy fatigability, and shortness of breath with exertion, lung function has been evaluated by a variety of methods in different centers. Spirometry, plethysmography, exercise testing, oculo electronic plethysmography, and imaging methods have been used to assess lung function in pectus excavatum and its response to surgery. Results: Not all patients with pectus excavatum have subnormal static pulmonary function testing; some have above-average values. However, in more than 1500 adult and pediatric surgical patients with anatomically severe pectus excavatum at a single center, the bell curve of FVC, FEV1, and FEF 25- 75 is shifted to significantly lower values in pectus excavatum. The curve is shifted to higher values after operation by approximately one standard deviation. Previous work has demonstrated that patients with more anatomically severe pectus excavatum are more likely to have diminished PFT’s.

Chief, Division of Thoracic Surgery and Interventional Pulmonology, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, 185 Pilgrim Rd. W/DC 201 Boston, MA 02215, USA. Email: [email protected]. Abstract: Tracheobronchoplasty, or posterior splinting of the airway with mesh, is a durable solution for patients with severe tracheobronchomalacia (TBM). Recurrent symptoms of TBM following tracheobronchoplasty are uncommon; however, when they occur can have significant impact on quality of life. Appropriate management of recurrent TBM requires a systematic and multidisciplinary collaborative approach. We present a patient with postoperative symptom recurrence requiring revisional tracheobronchoplasty to highlight the complexity of the disease’s presentation, workup and treatment.

We appreciate that coming into hospital for pectus correction surgery may be a major event for you. The Information in this booklet will hopefully allay some of the fears and apprehensions you may have and increase your understanding of what to expect during your stay in the Oxford Heart Centre, at the John Radcliffe Hospital. Our aim is to provide a high quality service to our patients. We would therefore welcome any suggestions you may have. A patient satisfaction survey can be found in the information folder by every bed on the Cardiothoracic Unit, alternatively please speak to a member of the senior nursing team. page 2 Modified Ravitch procedure In the modified Ravitch procedure, the rib cartilages are cut away on each side and the sternum is flattened so that it will lie flat. One or more bars (or struts) may then be inserted under the sternum to ensure it keeps its shape. This is the procedure we use for complex pectus anomalies, predominantly rib deformities and for pectus carinatum. The operation involves making a horizontal cut from one side of the chest to the other. Drains are inserted on each side of the chest to remove any fluid from the surgical site and the wound is closed using dissolvable stitches. If a strut is inserted it is intended to remain in place permanently but may be removed if it causes pain or other problems.

    Cosmetic and Reconstructive Procedures Corporate Medical Policy File Name: Cosmetic and Reconstructive Procedures File Code: UM.SURG.02 Origination: 06/2016 Last Review: 01/2020 Next Review: 01/2021 Effective Date: 04/01/2020 Description/Summary The term, “cosmetic and reconstructive procedures” includes procedures ranging from purely cosmetic to purely reconstructive. Benefit application has the potential to be confusing to members because there is an area of overlap where cosmetic procedures may have a reconstructive component and reconstructive procedures may have a cosmetic component. These procedures are categorized and benefits are authorized based upon the fundamental purpose of the procedure. The American Medical Association and the American Society of Plastic Surgeons have agreed upon the following definitions: • Cosmetic procedures are those that are performed to reshape normal structures of the body in order to improve the patient’s appearance and self- esteem. • Reconstructive procedures are those procedures performed on abnormal structures of the body, caused by congenital defects, developmental abnormalities, trauma, infection, tumors or disease. It is generally performed to improve function but may also be done to approximate a normal appearance. In order to be considered medically necessary, the goal of reconstructive surgery must be to correct an abnormality in order to restore physiological function to the extent possible. As such, for reconstructive surgery to be considered medically necessary there must be a reasonable

  • Anesthesic and Pain Management Considerations for the Nuss Procedure
    Anesthesic and Pain Management Considerations for the Nuss Procedure Lynne G. Maxwell, MD, FAAP Pectus Excavatum Pectus excavatum (PE) is a relatively common deformity of the chest wall, occurring in approximately 1 in 300 births. Although it is often referred to as a congential abnormality, many children do not have obvious manifestations until age 1 or older. It occurs more often in males in a ratio of 4:1. In some cases there is a genetic component with some evidence of autosomal dominance with male to male transmission. Although the development of PE may be related to upper airway obstruction and/or sleep apnea (OSAS) and disorders of connective tissue such as Marfan syndrome, most patients with PE have no associated medical conditions. Pectus excavatum has been recognized for centuries. Bauhinus described a patient in 1594 with pulmonary insufficiency (dyspnea and paroxysmal cough) associated with a severe pectus excavatum. Multiple case reports were decribed in the 19th century, including one by Ebstein in 1882 describing 4 patients. Treatment consisted of “fresh air, breathing exercises, aerobic activities, and lateral pressure.” Thoracic surgical approaches were developed in the early part of the 20th century, but it wasn’t until mid- century that Ravitch reported the technique which became the standard prior to the advent of the Nuss procedure. The Ravitch operation involved a mobilization of the sternum by resection of the costal cartilages bilaterally and sternal osteotmy. A modification involving the placement of a bar through the distal end of the sternum was reported in 1956 by Wallgren and Sulamaa which prevented the recurrence of the deformity.
