Abstract Pectus excavatum is the most encountered of chest wall deformities. It may produce respiratory and cardiovascular symptoms, hence surgical repair of this defect is performed. The procedure involving the insertion of metal bars under the sternum (the Nuss procedure) usually brings significant improvement to patients. However, the effect of the repair on the postural stability of patients has not been studied so far. To investigate the problem of patients' stability in the postoperative period male patients with pectus excavatum (n = 21) and healthy controls (n = 22) were included in the study. Using posturography methods, we showed a negative impact of the pectus excavatum repair surgery on patients' postural stability in the first postoperative phase. The centre of pressure displacement parameters used to measure postural stability were lower after the repair for both, the frontal and sagittal plane as well as for the velocity of displacements in the sagittal plane in the double stance with eyes open. Poorer postural stability was also found in patients with pectus excavatum when compared to healthy controls. Our findings may be useful for functional monitoring in the evaluation and surgical management of pectus excavatum patients and also when designing the rehabilitation of patients undergoing the Nuss procedure. |
