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.

上胸：一种矫正漏斗胸的新技术。

漏斗胸的治疗历来基于两种主要的手术技术：Ravitch手术和微创Nuss手术。多年来，这两种方法都证明了其有效性，并已成为临床实践中行之有效的选择。然而，近年来，一种被称为胸肌向上技术的新方法已经出现，作为一种创新的、侵入性较小的方法来矫正这种先天性胸壁畸形。在本视频教程中，我们介绍了一位使用Pectus Up系统治疗的年轻男性患者的病例，重点介绍了手术步骤、临床结果以及与传统技术相比，这种新方法的潜在优势。

期刊介绍： The Multimedia Manual of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery (MMCTS) is produced by The European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery (EACTS). MMCTS is the world’s premier video-based educational resource for cardiovascular and thoracic surgeons; freely accessible - and essential - for all. MMCTS was launched more than ten years ago under the leadership of founding editor Professor Marko Turina. It was Professor Turina’s vision that the European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery (EACTS), already the world-leader in CT surgery education, should take advantage of the Internet’s rapidly improving video publication capabilities and create a new step-by-step manual of surgical procedures. Professor Turina and EACTS agreed that the manual, MMCTS, should be freely accessible to all users, regardless of association membership status, nationality, or affiliation. MMCTS was self-published by EACTS for some years before being transferred to Oxford University Press, which hosted it until the end of 2016. In November 2016, the Manual returned home to EACTS and it has now relaunched in a completely new format. Since its birth in 2005, MMCTS has published some 400 detailed, video-based demonstrations of cardio-thoracic surgical procedures. Tutorials published prior to 2012 have been archived and we are working with the authors of these tutorials to update their work pending republication on the new site. Our mission is to make MMCTS the best online reference for cardio-thoracic surgeons – residents and experienced surgeons alike. Our aim is to include tutorials presenting procedures at both a fundamental and an advanced level. Truly innovative procedures are also included and are identified as such.
