Scar revision after minimal invasive repairment of pectus deformities
Journal Title: Current Thoracic Surgery - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
Pectus excavatum and pectus carinatum are the most common congenital chest wall deformities among others. The current surgical treatment involves insertion of a pectus bar to correct the deformity. It is a minimal invasive technique with minimal incisions but a scar tissue might be seen similar to all surgical interventions. This is an unintended result after surgery. In minimal invasive repairment of pectus deformities, we recommend scar revision after the removal of bar to achieving a good aesthetic outcome.
