    Summary

    This study reviewed 1410 chest wall corrections performed before 1982, detailing various congenital and acquired chest wall deformities. Findings guide surgical approaches based on morphological assessments for improved outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Thoracic Surgery
    • Pediatric Surgery
    • Congenital Abnormalities

    Context:

    • Review of 1410 chest wall corrections performed until 1982.
    • Analysis of diverse etiologies including cleft sternum, premature sternal synostosis, and congenital diaphragmatic hernia reconstruction.
    • Inclusion of cases with extreme flat chest and asymmetric deformities.

    Purpose:

    • To categorize and analyze the types of chest wall deformities encountered.
    • To establish a morphological classification system for chest wall anomalies.
    • To correlate morphological findings with operative consequences.

    Summary:

    • Chest wall corrections encompass a range of conditions, with specific percentages attributed to cleft sternum (0.5%), premature sternal synostosis (2.3%), and post-diaphragmatic hernia repair (0.5%).
    • A significant portion (17%) presented with severe pectus excavatum, asymmetric deformities, or abnormal punctum maximum.
    • Morphological parameters measured by pelvimetry and profile analysis informed surgical decisions.

    Impact:

    • Provides a historical overview of chest wall correction cases and their classifications.
    • Highlights the importance of morphological assessment in surgical planning for chest wall deformities.
    • Contributes to understanding the spectrum of congenital and acquired chest wall anomalies.
