The simultaneous and staged surgery outcomes of pectus excavatum
concomitant with congenital lung malformation
Abstract
Purpose There are children having pectus excavatum(PE)
accompanied with congenital lung malformation(CLM). However, the
simultaneous surgery or staged surgery outcomes of the PE and CLM is
unclear. This study was aimed to demonstrate the outcomes of
simultaneous or staged surgery of PE and CLM in children.
Methods From December 2015 to December 2020, we include 11
patients who got PE accompanied with CLM or with lung malformation
resection before in Department of Pediatric Thoracic Surgery, Guangzhou
Women and Children’s Medical Center. Six patients underwent NUSS
procedure and lung malformation resection simultaneously. Four patients
conducted NUSS procedure after lung malformation resection. One patient
conducted congenital lung malformation resection after NUSS procedure.
The staged surgery group of pectus excavatum concomitant with lung
malformation is control group. The perioperative condition and
postoperative follow-up were respectively evaluated. Results
The age,gender and weight were no difference in study group and control
group ( P>0.05). The intraoperative operation time,
blood loss volume and postoperative hospital stay of control group were
no significantly different study group, respectively (181.67 ±61.05 min
VS 125.00 ±105.00 min; 271.67 ± 302.53 ml VS 105.00 ± 220.82 ml; 10.83
±5.88 days VS 9.80 ± 4.82 days). All patients are follow-up at least 24
months in clinic department by X-ray. There were no statistical
differences in these data. Conclusions The simultaneous or
staged surgery of PE and CLM in children was feasible and safe. The
children age beyond 3 year-old-age, the simultaneous surgery is
advocated to recover. Additionally, large number of prospective study
results are necessary to further invest the consequence of the
simultaneous and staged surgery.
