Examination Methods

Functional disorders of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems with pectus excavatum (CFD) have attracted close attention of specialists for a long time. Modern examination methods based on the use of new diagnostic equipment allow obtaining more and more objective criteria for assessing these disorders. However, there are still no clear relationships between the degree of deformity and the severity of cardiorespiratory disorders. Therefore, indications for thoracoplasty are made for cosmetic or other subjective reasons, which is unacceptable in relation to such a complex surgical intervention.

Chest Deformity

Funnel chest deformity (CFD) is a severe malformation, which, in addition to a cosmetic defect in the form of a depression of the sternum and ribs, is accompanied by various functional disorders in the cardiorespiratory system. The frequency of this defect, according to a number of domestic and foreign authors, varies depending on the region from 0.2% to 1.3%.

Benign Course

Pectus excavatum (PE), the most common skeletal anomaly of chest wall, sometimes requires a surgical correction but recurrent PE is not uncommon. PE usually has a benign course; however, this chest deformity may be associated with symptomatic tachyarrhythmias due to mechanical compression. We report a case of a patient with recurrent PE after surgical correction presenting with palpitation and electrocardiogram (ECG) showing ST-segment elevation on the right precordial leads, which could be mistaken for a Brugada syndrome (BrS).

<p class="abstract"><strong><span lang="EN-US">Background:</span></strong>Secretory Otitis Media (SOM) is a common otological condition in children presenting most commonly with hearing loss. If untreated for long time, it can affect the language development of child. Its causes are multifactorial and treatment depends on the etiology. Various treatment modalities (medical and surgical) are available and they are administered in isolation or in combination. The objectives of the study were the present study was conducted with the objectives of knowing the most common age group affected by SOM, the common etiological factors of SOM and the outcome of various modalities of treatment of SOM.</p><p class="abstract"><strong><span lang="EN-US">Methods:</span></strong>This prospective study was conducted at a tertiary care teaching hospital of North Gujarat. IEC approval and consent from the patients were taken. 40 patients diagnosed with SOM were included in the study and their clinical and demographic details and treatment outcomes were studied.  </p><p class="abstract"><strong><span lang="EN-US">Results:</span></strong>Of the 40 patients, 65% were males. SOM was common in young children. Most of the cases (55%) were below 10 years of age. In 80% of cases SOM was bilateral. Deafness was the most common symptom (95%) with which patients presented with, followed by URTI and pain. All patients had impaired tympanic membrane mobility. Retraction of tympanic membrane was the next common otoscopic finding (85%). Initial management was medical and 18 patients required surgical intervention.</p><p class="abstract"><strong><span lang="EN-US">Conclusions:</span></strong>SOM is a common ear disorder in children. Initial medical treatment has a definitive role and should be tried in all cases before surgical intervention is contemplated. A variety of surgical procedures are available which can be used depending on the indication. Complete recovery is expected to occur in most of the cases by a period of 3-6 months.</p>

Achieving painlessness and numbness is a very essential moment in any surgical intervention, which is why for a long time the minds of many surgeons have been intensely occupied with this issue, and even to this day, research in this area continues at an unabated pace.

Sphere Of Influence

Modern surgery is taking over more and more organs, recapturing more and more areas of internal medicine. We see that in its great progressive movement surgery gradually involves within its sphere of influence a whole range of diseases that previously belonged exclusively to the sphere of internal medicine, such as some diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, biliary tract, lungs, etc. We see that even those organs, which until so recently were considered inaccessible to the art of the surgeon, are beginning to be subject to surgical intervention. Such last inviolable organ, on which the hand of the surgeon has not encroached for a long time, is the heart.

First Case

Abstract Pectus excavatum is a chest wall deformity with an incidence of around 1 in 400 live births. The Nuss procedure is a surgical intervention that aims to restore functional integrity in these patients. We report the first case of bar migration into the stomach necessitating further surgical intervention for removal. Our case presents a rare complication of pectus excavatum repair and highlights the importance of vigilant follow-up in these patients. If bar migration does occur, imaging in the form of X-ray and CT scans may be of use in early detection in order to expedite management.
