Sternal lifting technique for patients with sternal depression during robotic mitral repair.

Asian journal of endoscopic surgery
INTRODUCTION: Traditional surgical methods have been difficult for patients with chest wall deformities, but the use of the Electrical Sternum Lifting System (ESLS) has made the surgery easier.

Automatic implant shape design for minimally invasive repair of pectus excavatum using deep learning and shape registration.

Computers in biology and medicine
Minimally invasive repair of pectus excavatum (MIRPE) is an effective method for correcting pectus excavatum (PE), a congenital chest wall deformity characterized by concave depression of the sternum. In MIRPE, a long, thin, curved stainless plate (i...

Automatic Assessment of Pectus Excavatum Severity From CT Images Using Deep Learning.

IEEE journal of biomedical and health informatics
Pectus excavatum (PE) is the most common abnormality of the thoracic cage, whose severity is evaluated by extracting three indices (Haller, correction and asymmetry) from computed tomography (CT) images. To date, this analysis is performed manually, ...

Computer-aided diagnosis of pectus excavatum using CT images and deep learning methods.

Scientific reports
Pectus excavatum (PE) is one of the most common chest wall defects. Accurate assessment of PE deformities is critical for effective surgical intervention. Index-based evaluations have become the standard for objectively estimating PE, however, these ...

Robotic Mitral Valve Replacement in Pectus Excavatum.

Journal of cardiac surgery
Exposure of the mitral valve can be challenging using conventional sternotomy and thoracotomy incisions in patients with pectus deformity. We report the use of a robotic approach to replace a rheumatic mitral valve in a patient with pectus excavatum....

Is breast asymmetry caused by volume differences in women with pectus excavatum?

Journal of plastic, reconstructive & aesthetic surgery : JPRAS
This study determined the breast volumes of female patients with pectus excavatum that led to asymmetry and hypoplasia compared with normal women. This retrospective study enrolled 13 patients diagnosed with pectus excavatum and 13 normal women, rand...
