Non-invasive extrathoracic surgery for the treatment of Pectus Excavatum

INNOVATIVE SURGICAL METHOD THAT OFFERS A VERY LITTLE INVASIVE SOLUTION TO THE TREATMENT OF PECTUS EXCAVATUM

WHAT IS PECTUS UP?

Pectus Up® is an innovative and minimally invasive surgical technique for treating Pectus Excavatum, developed by Ventura Medical Technologies to definitively correct Pectus Excavatum. This procedure aims to provide a personalized solution for patients with Pectus Excavatum of various ages and different levels of asymmetry. Through an extra thoracic approach and a single minimal incision, the sternum depression is corrected without damaging the internal organs of the chest, thus avoiding serious complications.

This technique has significant advantages over traditional treatments, such as a short intervention duration, 1 to 3 days of hospitalization, minimal post-surgical pain, rapid recovery, and early return to daily activities. Additionally, the incision is small and allows for cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

Pectus Up: everything you need to know

Pectus Up represents a technological revolution in thoracic surgery that, in a minimally invasive, effective, and safe manner, achieves a truly significant result for the person suffering from Pectus Excavatum, improving their quality of life.

Pectus Up is an innovative surgical solution for treating this chest deformity, using a kit composed of a set of implants and tools that, extra thoracically, repair this deformity. In a single intervention, without the need to invade the mediastinum or pleural cavity, the sternum is elevated, eliminating the possibility of injuring bone structures or internal organs of the chest.

The Pectus Up kit is developed with cutting-edge technology based on years of research at Ventura Medical Technologies and the clinical experience of surgeons who have shared their knowledge to reach this new generation of the technique. Pectus Up offers a safe and effective alternative to traditional surgical methods.

It is highly valued by expert surgeons who treat Pectus Excavatum for its simplicity, replicability, efficacy, and low risk and is also well accepted by patients for the minimal pain they experience and their quick recovery.

SURGEONS TESTIMONIES

It is a perfectly reproducible technique although the basic concepts of it must be known for a correct execution. With the updated version it has been significantly improved and simplified.

The technique is safe, just following the sequence of steps is required until its execution. Once the desired elevation and the fixing between plates have been reached, the feeling of firmness of the system is very good.

It is also an easy and reproducible, minimally invasive surgical technique when our main is sternal elevation for the modification of the thoracic structure.

Dr. Jorge Hernández, Hospital Sagrat Cor - Barcelona

I believe that with the adequate/right knowledge of chest wall surgery, together with some notions of biomechanics, Pectus Up is an easily reproducible technique.

Initially, there might be uncertainty about the traction capacity of the system, but as experience progresses and with the latest evolution of the Pectus Up, it proves to be a safe and effective option in selected cases.

This technique presents an important advantage. It modifies the chest wall without invading the pleural space, which facilitates a faster recovery and less hospitalisation in comparison with other techniques.

Pectus Up technique

Benefits over other techniques:

  • Minimally invasive
  • Subpectoral device
  • Small incisions. Minimal blood loss
  • Very short recovery time
  • No risk of affecting the internal organs
  • Short duration surgery
  • Does not require intensive care
  • Allows for CPR

Surgical procedure

  • Minimal incision for implant placement
  • Insertion of a plate (small size) in the middle area of the sternum
  • Fixation of a ball joint screw in the sternum through the central area of the plate
  • Placement of the implant around the ball joint screw
  • Placement of the traction system on the ball joint screw to raise the sternum to the correct position
  • Removal of the ball joint screw and the traction system
  • Incision closure

Technical data

The Pectus Up Surgery Kit consists of a plate with a functional design, several bone fixations and a set of tools that allow the performance of the surgery.

Current regulations regarding materials and treatments have been taken into account in all the elements of the Pectus Up Surgery Kit so that the implant is totally bioinert in the human body. In addition, all the necessary studies have been conducted for the product to fulfill its function.
