No. 1 International Pectus Dilata Treatment Center with the Most Surgeries Worldwide
Just as each person's face shape is different, the shape of the pectus excavatum is also different. About 40% of all patients have asymmetrical pectus excavatum, and a single surgical method cannot perfectly correct the shape of the entire sternum, both functionally and aesthetically. Director Park Hyung-joo of the Department of Thoracic Surgery at Gangnam Nanuri Hospital has developed three surgical methods that complement the problems of existing pectus excavatum surgeries, and operates the Pectus Dilata Center with the best skills in creating anatomic and physiologically normal chest walls. In addition, the center has been invited to perform surgical demonstrations in countries around the world, including the United States, Spain, and Switzerland, and is recognized as the world's unrivaled center for complete correction of pectus excavatum/complex deformity.
What is a sunken chest?
A concave chest wall deformity
Pectus excavatum is a congenital deformity in which the cartilage and part of the ribs that connect the sternum are sunken. In many cases, a sunken chest is discovered immediately after birth, but sometimes it can occur during the rapid growth period of puberty. In Korea, it occurs in about 1 out of 1,000 people, and in addition to the cosmetic problem, the sunken sternum can compress the heart and lungs, causing functional disorders, so active treatment is necessary.
Types of Pectus Excavatum Surgery
- Nuss Procedure:
- Minimally Invasive: Involves small incisions on the sides of the chest.
- Procedure: A curved metal bar is inserted behind the sternum to elevate it to a normal position.
- Duration: The bar typically remains in place for 2-4 years before being removed.
2.Ravitch Procedure:
- Open Surgery: Involves a larger incision across the chest.
- Procedure: The surgeon removes the abnormal cartilage and repositions the sternum.
- Duration: The recovery period is longer compared to the Nuss procedure, but it is often used for more severe cases.
Goals of the Surgery
- Physical Improvement: Enhancing cardiopulmonary function by expanding the chest cavity, which improves lung and heart function.
- Cosmetic Improvement: Correcting the appearance of the chest to boost self-esteem and reduce psychological distress.
- Symptom Relief: Alleviating symptoms such as chest pain, respiratory issues, and exercise intolerance.
Recovery and Considerations
- Recovery Time: Varies depending on the procedure, but typically includes several weeks of restricted physical activity.
- Risks: As with any surgery, risks include infection, bleeding, and complications related to anesthesia.
- Follow-up Care: Regular follow-ups are essential to monitor the position of the sternum and the patient's overall recovery.
