    Area of Science:

    • Thoracic surgery
    • Pediatric surgery
    • Surgical techniques

    Background:

    • Pectus carinatum is a chest wall deformity requiring surgical correction.
    • Different types of pectus carinatum necessitate varied surgical approaches.
    • Optimal surgical management aims for functional and aesthetic restoration.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present surgical experiences with 161 pectus carinatum operations.
    • To describe operative techniques for different pectus carinatum types.
    • To evaluate the efficacy of surgical interventions for chest wall deformities.

    Main Methods:

    • Type I (keel chest): Bilateral costal cartilage resection, sternal osteotomy, xiphoid detachment, and sternal body resection.
    • Type II (pouter pigeon breast): Double transverse sternotomy, osteotomy of the sternomanubrial junction, and sternal support with xiphoid or Marlex mesh.

  • Type III (asymmetrical): Localized cartilage resection or extensive resection with sternal axis correction.

    • Main Results:

    • Successful surgical correction was achieved in 161 cases.
    • Specific techniques were employed based on pectus carinatum type.
    • Sternal stability was maintained using muscle forces or prosthetic materials.

    Conclusions:

    • Surgical correction of pectus carinatum is effective across various types.
    • Tailored surgical approaches ensure optimal outcomes for chest wall deformities.
    • The described methods provide a reliable framework for pectus carinatum repair.
