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.

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.
