Re-do surgery for unsatisfactory chest wall deformity correction is often necessary. Despite varied patient factors, surgical correction of recurrent deformities yields predictable outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Thoracic surgery
  • Pediatric surgery
  • Surgical outcomes

Background:

  • A small percentage of patients require revision surgery for unsatisfactory chest wall deformity correction.
  • These revision procedures are termed "re-do" surgeries.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the technique and outcomes of "re-do" procedures for chest wall deformities.
  • To provide evidence supporting surgical correction of recurrent chest wall deformities.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 18 "re-do" procedures for chest wall deformities.
  • Analysis of patient demographics, original procedure type, and interval between surgeries.

Main Results:

  • The operative approach for "re-do" procedures was standardized across diverse patient groups.

  • Outcomes for revision surgeries were found to be predictable.

    • Conclusions:

    • Recurrent chest wall deformities should be surgically corrected.
    • "Re-do" procedures, despite variability in patient factors, offer predictable results and are recommended.
    • Further literature on the specifics of these revision surgeries is warranted.
