“The performance of surgery is art, the rest is all science”
This book is dedicated to the memory of my father Dr. Gopal
Krishna Saxena, a person of principles and immense virtues
and talents who dedicated himself to support my education and
guided me throughout.
Preface

Chest wall deformities present a wide spectrum of anterior thoracic cage


anomalies, and depending on the specific type of deformity the most appro-
priate approach must be employed to achieve optimal results.
The approach towards management of patients with chest wall deformities
has undergone enormous transformations in the past century. In the beginning
of the last century, with the advent of initial successes in open procedures for
treatment of various thoracic organ pathologies largely attributed to the
advances in anesthesia and assisted ventilation, correction of the deformities
of the anterior chest wall was attempted. These pioneers who performed chest
wall deformity repairs have to be commended for the development of their
respective techniques bearing in mind the unavailability of high quality com-
mercially manufactured instruments in that period. However, when compared
to contemporary times, slow communication and exchanges between centers
at that time contributed towards the emergence of variations in techniques for
the surgical management of chest wall deformities. Furthermore, at that time
the evolution of novel techniques were known either through presentation at
National Congresses or through publications in local languages, which again
played a major role in the lack of popularity or precise understanding of these
techniques. Also, with the limited use of photography, it was difficult to pic-
ture the results of corrective surgery and to understand the analysis of results.
Towards the end of the last century, larger series were published using the few
open techniques that gained popularity, but these reports were limited to cen-
ters that gained surgical experience after management of large number of
patients.
The introduction of a minimal access repair of pectus excavatum in the
beginning of this century was the first technique that had a global impact in
the acceptance of a single concept towards the management of the funnel
chest type of chest wall deformities. The minimal access repair technique has
been frequently referred incorrectly to minimal invasive repair, bearing in
mind that this technique is extremely invasive but is only performed through
small-size incisions. The popularity of minimal access repair in the present
era of mass communications has allowed comparison of the outcomes
between centers worldwide and towards the development of safer standards
in performing these procedures. The introduction of thoracoscopy in the min-
imal access repair technique was an important addition to this technique to
improve safety during surgery. The success of minimal access repairs of fun-
nel chest was then modified and employed for the treatment of pigeon chest

type of chest wall deformities. In addition to the widespread practice of mini-


mal access repairs, another aspect in the treatment of chest wall deformities
was the utilization of noninvasive techniques such as the application of suc-
tion devices for the treatment of certain types of funnel chest deformities and
the use of braces for the correction of specific types of pigeon chest
deformities.
This monograph is a compilation of the various interrelated subjects asso-
ciated with chest wall deformities. The introductory sections address topics
that are related to classification, diagnostics, and associations, knowledge of
subjects that are necessary when managing patients with these deformities.
This is followed by chapters that focus on the management of funnel chest
deformities and surgical techniques for repairs. The chapters on techniques
have been presented with schematic illustrations to guide the reader through
the important steps of the procedures. Dedicated sections focus on the man-
agement of pigeon chest deformities and their operative repairs. The final
section’s emphasis is on other conditions that present as chest wall deformi-
ties as well as options to their respective management. This comprehensive
work is a concise collection of conventional surgical procedures and contem-
porary techniques for surgeons that manage patients with chest wall
deformities.
