Abstract
The article is devoted to a description of our own observations and treatment of patients with pectus excavatum. It is noted that approaches to surgical treatment of patients with pectus excavatum require increased efficiency and safety, which makes this issue relevant. Attention is focused on videothoracoscopic technologies in the form of inserting a plate under the sternum under the control of a videothoracoscopy. It has been established that the operation using the Nuss technique is the optimal method of surgical correction of pectus excavatum. The main advantage of surgery using the Nuss method is a good cosmetic effect and a stable long-term correction result. The use of thoracoscopic navigation reduces the risk of intraoperative complications, minimizes blood loss, reduces the invasiveness of the intervention, and reduces the duration of the operation and the patient’s time in the hospital.
