Abstract:
Pectus excavatum is a common congenital chest wall deformities in children, presented with abnormal collapse of anterior chest wall. Thoracoscopic Nuss procedure is the present widely utilized clinical approach. Due to implanting a steel bar into the substernal area, operative organ injuries, postoperative pain, bar malposition, incomplete correction as well as risks of bar removal may occur. With the advancement of digital precision medicine and the interdisciplinary research of various disciplines and fields, there are more and more clinical applications and translations of these emerging applications represented by computational biomechanical simulations, three-dimensional printing and the latest absorbable biomaterial. They bring new opportunities and prospects for solving problems in the clinical treatment of PE as well as the improvement and development of patient-specific Nuss procedure planning.
