http://www.parentsroom.org/f_pectus.htm

Extractions: Name: Momof3boyz Salem, IN Number of kids: 3 Problem: We would like to hear from anyone who has any experience with a condition known as pectus excavatum. Our second son was born with this condition which seems to be hereditary and it does run in the males on my husband's side of the family. Both my husband and his father and a nephew have this problem, but our son seems to have a more severe case. We have met with a pediatric surgeon who strongly suggested that this be corrected because it may soon affect his lung capacity and the position of his heart as he grows. He is now 3 yrs. old and the surgeon says he needs to be at least 4 yrs. old before the surgery. The procedure has been explained to us and many questions answered, however I would like to hear from someone who has had this corrective surgery or has a child who has and maybe some advice as to the situation. Solution submitted by CG from Atlanta, GA: I have seen several surgeons in the Eastern US this past year regarding PE repair. Our 22 year old had PE repair by a pediatric surgeon 15 years ago and the results were not good, and problems resulted. If you choose to repair PE, seek a surgeon who does PE repair weekly at least. There are three techniques which appear to be good, the rest are similar to my 22 year old's. Johns Hopkins continues to be a leader in this area as well as the possibly related Marfan Syndrome. Dr. Walter Pegoli, ROchester, NY trained at Johns Hopkins and is quite knowledgeable. Dr. Nuss in Norfolk developed a technique which has been accepted by numerous surgeons in the US, yet it scares me. Dr. Haje has a web sight and a very impressive non surgical correction. Dr. Fonkelsrud also has a web sight and uses a similar technique, though he does not use age limits to prevent regrowth as Johns Hopkins and Dr. Pegoli appear to.

http://www.parentsroom.org/pectus2.htm

Extractions: Name: Kirsten Number of kids: 2 Ages of kids: 5 and 1 Problem: My five year old son has Pectus Excavatum. It is classified as Moderate, and at this time the surgeon we trust suggests we wait a few years to consider operating. One problem that seems unique to my son's case is that his chest is unevenly formed, so that the pectus operation is not going to make it look totally normal. In my son's case only the lower two ribs are involved, so only four would need to have cartilage removal. I am very, very concerned about having the surgery done before my son is old enough to choose it. We have no family history of pectus, but have about 7 adult friends with varying levels of it that have never had surgery and discount it's necessity. This is a hard choice. Certainly if my son suffers from self-esteem problems we would support a choice, but it seems like the surgery is best done before this would crop up. Knowing so many people who have happily not chosen it makes it hard to put my son through such a painful surgery. I want more information!!

New VideoAssisted, Minimally Invasive Technique for Repair of PectusExcavatum. Steven Stylianos, MD. Associate Professor of Clinical
http://cpmcnet.columbia.edu/dept/surgery/peds/pectus.html

Extractions: What is Pectus Excavatum? Pectus excavatum is a depression of the sternum (breastbone) and the adjacent ribs. The deformity is referred to as "sunken" or "funnel" chest and the severity of the depression ranges from mild to severe. Mild cases may respond to an exercise and posture program, whereas more severe cases require surgical correction. Pectus excavatum can "run" in families and is often obvious at birth, often progressing as the child gets older. What are the indications for surgery? Surgical correction of pectus excavatum is performed for BOTH medical and cosmetic (self-image) reasons. Children with moderate to severe defects often report exercise intolerance manifested by shortness of breath and chest pain on exertion. The displacement and compression of the heart and lungs may explain these symptoms. What are the advantages of the new "Video-Assisted, Minimally Invasive" technique for repair of pectus excavatum (Nuss Procedure)? In the past, a variety of radical procedures were advocated. However, a new technique for correction of pectus excavatum has been developed and refined by Dr Donald Nuss, a pediatric surgeon at Childrens Hospital of the Kings Daughters in Norfolk, Virginia. The Nuss Procedure allows complete repair of the pectus excavatum deformity without the need for an anterior skin incision, rib resections, or fracture of the sternum. Blood loss is minimal and recovery time short.
