Abstract

Pectus excavatum, also called sunken chest, represents the most widespread problem of chest deformations all over the world. By limiting the intrathoracic space and displacing some of the intrathoracic organs from their natural position, the deformity may have consequences over the normal function of the cardiac or respiratory system. PE may also be the cause of significant psychological distress for these patients. The importance of treatment of this defect is crucial. Until today, many methods have been developed to solve this problem. Various surgical (invasive and minimally invasive) and non-invasive techniques of treatment are discussed in this article. It is noteworthy that less invasive technique that was initially created by Nuss and subsequently evolved and adapted over the time, by many surgeons, represent the gold standard for sunken chest. Accordingly, in Georgia, Tbilisi, Tsitsishvili Children’s Clinic, there is a surgical treatment of sunken chest, based on Nuss’s technique, performed by pediatric surgeon, E. Mosidze.
