Caty, Glick, Levitt, and Haynes have produced a different kind of book on Complications in Pediatric Surgery. They have divided this book into two sections: the first section is devoted to systematic issues, as they relate to complications and the second section deals with specific organ systems and operations. Most textbooks on surgical complications are organized in the same way as the second section of this book, namely, along organ systems and operations. The first section of this book provides a unique and innovative addition to the literature on patient safety. In the current era, hospitals and medical centers are intensely focused on safety and error prevention, spending a huge amount of their resources and money on these problems. This becomes immediately obvious when we see the introduction of electronic medical records and order entries in most medical centers in the United States. It impacts on surgeons more specifically with regards to the “time outs” we all go through in the operating room before each surgical procedure. Site marking is another example of these efforts in the operating room. Medical centers are looking to the aviation industry’s experience with error reduction as a template for medical error reduction. Thus, the chapter by John Nance on this subject is a welcome addition to the book. The second section of the book, as mentioned above, represents a more traditional approach to complications in surgery, being organized along organ systems and specific diag- noses and operations. The authors have again been innovative in this section by having experts on various operations answering a specific list of questions about the technical details of the various operations. As we all know, one cannot learn to do an operation from a textbook or atlas because all the small details of the operation, which can make the difference between success and failure, cannot all be illustrated through drawings or photographs. The saying “the devil is in the details” is applicable to a complex operation. However, the approach the editors have taken by asking a list of detailed questions about the procedure to the expert comes as close as possible to watching the expert actually do the operation. In summary, this new textbook of Complications in Pediatric Surgery offers both traditional and innovative approaches to pediatric surgical error reduction and management, and will be a significant addition to any pediatric surgeon’s library.

In order to attain success, it is imperative that we avoid complications. The phrase primum non nocere (first do no harm) is known to all who practice medicine. This mandate has been central to the practice of medicine and demands that physicians avoid medical error. The publication of “To Err Is Human” by the Institute of Medicine in 1999 crystallized the problem of medical error in the United States, demonstrating that within hospitals each year approximately 100,000 patients died due to medical error. This was a sentinel event in health care, calling for improved medical safety both in and out of hospitals. The report emphasized not only individual physician error, but also the significant role “systems” errors play. Our textbook attempts to balance a perspective between systems issues and the more traditional organ based complication avoidance strategies. In the first part of the text, systems approaches to medicine are explored from several points of view, including aviation, the legal system, medication safety, and evidence-based medicine. The second part of the text follows an organ-based approach to complication recognition and avoidance. Contained within the second part of the text is a series of discussions with experts on complication avoidance and management. Each expert responded to a series of questions pertaining to an operation with which they had considerable experience and expertise. These responses come from years of experience in the management of these problems and should prove useful to all pediatric surgeons. Complications in Pediatric Surgery is the authors’ and editors’ contribution to improve the practice of pediatric surgery. It is our hope that the medical community, and in turn all patients, will benefit from the information contained within this text. Michael G.

  • 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.

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.
