9 Σεπ 2020 · Our modified approach to thoracoplasty procedure is effective and safe in correcting a razor back deformity in patients with severe, rigid, scoliosis, and severe pulmonary dysfunction, without causing any significant change in long-term pulmonary function.
12 Αυγ 2024 · Posterior spinal fusion (PSF) and thoracoplasty can correct rib hump deformity and improve patient satisfaction. However, conventional thoracoplasty may impair pulmonary function and increase complications.
25 Ιαν 2012 · A costoplasty, also called thoracoplasty, is a separate procedure to the spinal fusion, which can reduce the appearance of the “rib hump” that is most often associated with thoracic curves. A costoplasty will usually involve the removal of sections of several ribs that protrude – in my case my surgeon removed four sections of rib – ouch!!
Thoracoplasty is a surgical procedure that allows the reduction of the thoracic cavity by removing the ribs. It was originally conceived to collapse cavities of lungs affected by tuberculosis and gained worldwide acceptance in such a setting.
13 Ιουν 2016 · Thoracoplasty can be used as part of both posterior and anterior spinal surgical procedures. The technique has also been used to address the rib hump deformity without spinal fusion and to address residual chest wall deformity in a previously fused spine.
Thoracoplasty is a surgical technique initially designed to permanently collapse tuberculous cavities by resection of ribs from the chest wall. Thoracoplasty began in 1885 with de Cerenville, who resected short segments of two or more ribs anteriorly, resulting in collapse of the anterior chest wall.
