Pectus Up: a new technique for the correction of pectus excavatum

The treatment of pectus excavatum has historically been based on two main surgical techniques: the Ravitch procedure and the minimally invasive Nuss procedure. Both have demonstrated effectiveness over the years and have become well-established options in clinical practice. However, in recent years, a new approach known as the Pectus Up technique has emerged as an innovative and less invasive alternative for the correction of this congenital chest wall deformity. In this video tutorial, we present the case of a young male patient treated using the Pectus Up system, highlighting the surgical steps, clinical outcomes and potential advantages of this novel method compared to traditional techniques.

Abstract

The treatment of pectus excavatum has historically been based on two main surgical techniques: the Ravitch procedure and the minimally invasive Nuss procedure. Both have demonstrated effectiveness over the years and have become well-established options in clinical practice. However, in recent years, a new approach known as the Pectus Up technique has emerged as an innovative and less invasive alternative for the correction of this congenital chest wall deformity. In this video tutorial, we present the case of a young male patient treated using the Pectus Up system, highlighting the surgical steps, clinical outcomes and potential advantages of this novel method compared to traditional techniques.
