Popis: Deformiteti stijenke prsnog koša su relativno rijetke bolesti nepoznate etiologije koje se javljaju u djetinjstvu i adolescenciji. Primjetna je obiteljska pojavnost deformiteta uz vrlo rijetko spontano izlječenje. Kirurško liječenje predstavlja jedinu mogućnost ispravljanja deformiteta bilo klasičnim operacijskim načinom ili minimalno invazivnom metodom liječenja (endoskopskim putem). Među kirurzima nema ujednačenog stava o tome u kojem je životom razdoblju najbolje učiniti ispravljanje deformiteta, jer su rezultati vrlo dobri bez obzira na primijenjenu metodu liječenja. U ovom radu prikazani su rezultati liječenja kod 105 bolesnika operiranih klasičnim načinom između 1985. i 2005. godine u Klinici za torakalnu kirurgiju Kliničke bolnice za plućne bolesti „Jordanovac“.
Chest wall deformities are relatively rare diseases of unknown etiology, which occur in childhood and adolescence. Pectus deformities show familial occurrence with very rare spontaneous resolution. Operative treatment is one of the possible therapeutic options for deformity correction by classic operative procedure or by minimally invasive method of treatment (endoscopic). There is no consensus among surgeons about the age at which correction of the chest wall deformity should best be performed because therapeutic results are very good irrespective of the method of treatment employed. Therapeutic results in 105 patients operated on by the classic method during the 1985-2005 period at University Department of Thoracic Surgery, Jordanovac University Hospital for Lung Diseases in Zagreb, Croatia, are reported.
