No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The goal of this study is to determine the effect of Nuss minimally-invasive repair technique of pectus excavatum (PE) on the postural stability in patients with PE.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

* How surgical chest wall repair will affect postural stability of PE patients?
* What is the difference in postural stability between patients with PE and healthy controls? Participants will undergo the Nuss repair surgery and will be tested before and afterwards for their postural stability with the use of the posturography method.

Researchers will compare PE male patients and healthy young men to see if PE posture defect affects postural stability.

Conditions

  • Pectus Excavatum

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Nuss repair of Pectus Excavatum

The Nuss procedure is a minimally-invasive repair technique of PE (MIRPE), whereby one to three curved metal bars are inserted behind the sternum to correct the shape of the anterior chest wall. The bars are left in situ for three years and then removed.

DRUG

Epidural anesthesia

The Nuss procedure of pectus excavatum repair surgery is performed under general anesthesia. Epidural anesthesia, with a constant infusion of 0.25% bupivacaine, was routinely used and was maintained in the early postoperative period.
