Thoracoplasty

01/01/2022 - "In adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS), the rib prominence is a major cosmetic concern which can be improved using thoracoplasties. "
07/15/1994 - "Thoracoplasty is more effective than fusion alone for reduction of rib prominence in thoracic scoliosis; it provides ample, effective bone graft for fusion."
01/15/2010 - "Expansion thoracoplasty of the constricted left hemithorax improved scoliosis but increased left lung volumes only moderately compared with Disease rabbits. "
04/01/1994 - "The efficacy of performing a thoracoplasty from within the thoracotomy during anterior surgery for scoliosis was investigated. "
04/01/2023 - "This study's objective is to provide a critical review of the current literature regarding the changes in pulmonary function (PF) in Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) patients who have undergone posterior spinal fusion and instrumentation (PSF), with and without thoracoplasty (TP). "

09/26/2021 - "This case highlights that the treatment mode of limited thoracoplasty and free vastus lateralis musculocutaneous flap transposition is safe and effective for the management of postpneumonectomy empyema with a large cavity in thin patients who had previously undergone a posterolateral thoracotomy."
05/01/2021 - "Ultimately, the empyema cavity was able to be cleaned in nine, including seven who were cured by subsequent thoracoplasty and two who were cured without thoracoplasty. "
06/01/1992 - "Empyema was cured, and the patient left the hospital 2 weeks after thoracoplasty. "
06/01/1992 - "[A case of postpneumonectomy empyema cured by open drainage thoracotomy and thoracoplasty with pectoral myoplasty]."
11/01/1990 - "Surgical management of chronic empyema: the role of thoracoplasty."

06/01/1998 - "Thus, a study was undertaken to find out to what extent the deformity of thorax after thoracoplasty increases the mechanical work of breathing. "
09/15/1997 - "The study of two patients whose rib deformity was treated using a new endoscopic thoracoplasty technique is reported. "
12/01/2023 - "To evaluate the effectiveness of halo-pelvic traction and thoracoplasty for pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) and cardiopulmonary function in patients with severe spinal deformity. "
12/01/2023 - "Effectiveness of Halo-Pelvic Traction and Thoracoplasty for Pulmonary Artery Pressure and Cardiopulmonary Function in Patients With Severe Spinal Deformity."
03/04/2023 - "Resections are extensive; therefore, thoracoplasty should be planned to protect intrathoracic organs, prevent herniation, future deformities, preserve ventilatory dynamics, and enable radiotherapy. "

02/01/1990 - "5) Principal surgical procedure applied in cases under this study was drainage followed by closure of fistula with muscle plombage and with or without thoracoplasty. "

11/01/2013 - "The patient was treated surgically by transsternal transpericardial bronchopleural fistula closure and open window thoracoplasty. "
07/01/2013 - "Indication, surgical technique, postoperative management, and follow-up of reoperation (thoracoplasty and muscle plombage, clousure of bronchopleural fistula, resuture of bronchial stump, open window thoracostomy, and 2nd pulmonary resection) for these complications are described. "
08/01/2012 - "A tailored thoracoplasty was combined with a serratus anterior-rhomboid myoplasty, which also served to close a bronchopleural fistula, if present. "

10/01/2013 - "The objective of the procedure was complete obliteration of the diseased space, with additional limited thoracoplasty being required in 12 out of 15 patients (average resected ribs: 3.7); bronchial fistula were encountered in 9 patients and were closed-reinforced using muscle flaps. "
01/01/2003 - "Thoracoplasty and muscular plombage were performed for filling up the cavity and closure of bronchial fistula. "
06/01/2002 - "For this patient, we also attempted revision of the bronchial stube via posterior throacotomy, the closure of the bronchial fistula using an intercostal muscle flap associated with thoracoplasty. "
03/01/1975 - "Thirty there patients were treated surgically (tamponade, thoracoplasty, rethoracotomy with suturing of the bronchial fistula, transsternal suturing of the bronchial fistulas). "
01/01/1955 - "[Thoracoplasty of nine ribs in an adolescent, for bronchial fistula, after pneumonectomy for destroyed lung; absence of repercussion on vertebral equilibrium]."
