Factors influencing negative surgical outcomes in adult pectus excavatum patients undergoing Nuss procedure.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This study aimed to examine the factors associated with the negative outcomes of Nuss procedure in adult pectus excavatum (PE) patients.

Methods

Forty-seven adult PE patients were enrolled in this study. Mimics 21.0 software (Materialise) was used to reconstruct the preoperative and postoperative three-dimensional (3D) thoracic model. The preoperative and postoperative pulmonary volumes and function parameters were compared. The diaphragm positions were localized, and the anteroposterior diameter (APD) of the thoracic cavity was calculated using neoteric methods. Binary logistic regression was used to reveal the association between clinical factors and altered pulmonary parameters.

Results

Postoperative lung volumes in adult PE patients decreased significan
