Palabras clave:
pectus excavatum (tórax en embudo), neumotórax (es)funnel chest, pneumothorax. (en)
Antecedentes. En 1997 Donald Nuss y colaboradores publicaron su experiencia en la Reparación Mínimamente Invasiva del Pectus Excavatum (RIMPE). Esta técnica basada en los principios físicos de la caja torácica y en las observaciones hechas a partir de la técnica abierta cambió radicalmente el tratamiento de la enfermedad, siendo adoptada por los cirujanos en el mundo entero.
Objetivo. Describir los resultados de la Reparación Mínimamente Invasiva del Pectus Excavatum (RIMPE) en la Clínica Infantil Colsubsidio.
Material y métodos. Se realizó un estudio descriptivo de serie de casos de los pacientes tratados con la técnica de Nuss en la Clínica Infantil Colsubsidio durante el período comprendido entre diciembre 2004 y julio del 2008. La recolección de datos fue realizada con base en historias clínicas, tomando datos personales, familiares y paraclínicos. Se evaluaron los resultados quirúrgicos incluyendo tiempo de cirugía, complicaciones tempranas, complicaciones tardías y uso de analgésicos.
Resultados. Se incluyeron 10 pacientes entre los 13 y 17 años. El 90 por ciento de los pacientes fueron hombres. El resultado estético fue satisfactorio en todos los casos. Las complicaciones más frecuentes fueron dos de neumotórax y dos de desplazamiento de la barra. No se presentó ningún caso de infección, alergia, derrame pleural, pericarditis, o hemotórax .
Discusión. Esta serie de casos describe nuestra experiencia inicial, encontrando que la cirugía de Nuss es una técnica segura, reproducible, con buenos resultados en la mayoría de los pacientes y con una rápida recuperación funcional y estética. Las complicaciones que se presentaron en nuestra serie corresponden a las reportadas en la literatura mundial.
Background. In 1997 Donald Nuss and cols published their experience in the Minimally Invasive Repair for Pectus Excavatum (MIRPE). This procedure, based on the physical properties of the thoracic cage and the observation upon the open procedure changed radically the treatment and has been rapidly adopted by surgeons all around the world.
Objetive. This study evaluates the results of the MIRPE in the Clínica Infantil Colsubsidio.
Materials and methods. We carried out a case series of patients treated with the Nuss procedure betweeen December 2004 and July 2008. Information was gathered from medical records , considering personal and familiar past medical history, laboratory and radiologic tests. Results of the procedure were evaluated, including duration of the procedure, early and late onset complications and analgesic use.
Results. 10 patients between 13 and 17 years were included, 90 percent were men. The cosmetic result was satisfactory in all cases. The most frequent complications were pneumothorax and dislodgement of the bar; We did not find any case of infection, allergy, pleural effusion, pericarditis or hemothorax.
Conclusions. This descriptive study allows us to compare our early experience with the worldwide reports, finding that it is a safe and reproducible technique, with good results in most patients; It also has a more prompt functional recovery and satisfactory esthetic result. Complications in our series were similar to the reported in the literature.
