Area of Science:

  • Thoracic surgery
  • Minimally invasive surgery
  • Pediatric surgery

Background:

  • Bar rotation is a significant complication after minimally invasive repair of pectus excavatum (MIRPE).
  • This complication can necessitate reoperation and carries a risk of severe intrathoracic injury.
  • Bridge fixation is a proposed method to enhance implant stability and prevent rotation, but evidence is limited.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of bridge fixation in preventing implant rotation.
  • To assess the stability of bridge fixation in a large, multicenter patient cohort.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective multicenter study included 710 patients undergoing chest wall repair with intrathoracic implants stabilized by bilateral lateral bridges.
  • Data collected included demographics, surgical techniques, implant configurations, cryoanalgesia use, length of stay, complications, and implant removal.
  • The primary outcome was reoperation due to implant rotation.

Main Results:

  • A total of 1,821 implants were analyzed across five centers.
  • No cases of implant rotation requiring reoperation were observed.
  • Postoperative complications requiring reoperation occurred in 6.1% of patients, but none were attributed to implant rotation.

Conclusions:

  • Bridge fixation demonstrated complete prevention of implant rotation requiring reoperation in this large multicenter series.
  • The technique proved reliable across diverse surgical approaches, implant types, and patient demographics.
  • These findings support the use of bridge fixation to enhance implant stability in pectus excavatum repair.
