MODIFIED SANDWICH TECHNIQUE FOR ASYMMETRIC PECTUS CARINATUM AND EXCAVATUM–CARINATUM COMPLEX: A RETROSPECTIVE COHORT STUDY

Published: Reading: 1 min

Topic overview

This retrospective study examines a modified sandwich technique for correcting complex asymmetric chest wall deformities that resist standard bracing or single-approach surgery. The method combines internal and external bar placement to achieve multidirectional remodeling in challenging pectus carinatum and mixed excavatum-carinatum cases.

Key takeaways

  • Asymmetric PC and ECC often fail conventional bracing or single-direction minimally invasive repair techniques.
  • Modified sandwich technique uses combined internal and external bars for multidirectional chest wall remodeling.
  • Technical variables (bar number, length, placement sequence, fixation) require further standardization for optimal outcomes.
