METHOD OF MINIMALLY INVASIVE SURGICAL TREATMENT OF ASYMMETRIC CHEST DEFORMITY IN CHILDREN Russian patent published in 2023 - IPC A61B17/80 

FIELD: medicine; surgery; orthopedics.

SUBSTANCE: invention can be used in the surgical treatment of congenital and acquired asymmetric chest deformities in children and adolescents. The method is as follows: placing two titanium plates from lateral mini-accesses in the area of the deformity apex of the anterior chest wall. One plate is inserted intrapleurally, from one pleural cavity to another, with the plate flipped over. The second plate is inserted in combination — from the pleural cavity on the retraction side, then along the anterior surface of the sternum with immersion and exit from the second pleural cavity.

EFFECT: method provides correction of various asymmetric deformities of the anterior chest wall, which makes it possible to improve the recovery and retention of the corrected retrosternal space due to the formation of a counter compression of the anterior chest wall with simultaneous elimination of the protrusion of the sternocostal complex and retraction on it.
