    Resolution of pericardial effusion after minimally invasive surgical repair of pectus excavatum
    (BAYCINAR MEDICAL PUBL-BAYCINAR TIBBI YAYINCILIK, 2014) BOSTANCI, KORKUT; Bostanci, Korkut; Ozyurtkan, Mehmet Oguzhan; Yuksel, Mustafa
    Pectus excavatum may cause the compression of the heart, thereby, disturbing the pericardial fluid turnover which results in pericardial effusion. In this article, we report a 32-year-old female case with pectus excavatum and chronic recurrent pericardial effusion. After the minimally invasive repair of pectus excavatum and pericardiocentesis, no recurrence was observed during one-year follow-up. By elevating the sternum and relieving the cardiac compression, minimally invasive repair of pectus excavatum may be helpful in restoring the pericardial fluid production and re-absorption mechanism.

    Minimally invasive repair of pectus carinatum using a newly designed bar and stabilizer: a single-institution experience
    (ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2011-01-11) BOSTANCI, KORKUT; Yueksel, Mustafa; Bostanci, Korkut; Evman, Serdar
    Objective: A modified technique of the Nuss procedure for the minimally invasive repair of pectus carinatum was defined by Abramson, and it has been gaining support for the last few years. We have been performing the Abramson procedure in our institutions since 2006. This article describes our recent experience with a novel instrument for pectus carinatum correction. Methods: In 2008, we developed a new pectus bar and stabilizing system for this procedure and started using it on our pectus carinatum patients. Between July 2008 and December 2009, 18 patients were operated on with these newly designed implants. Results: Excellent esthetic results obtained regarding the postoperative course, verified with the patients' and parent's answers on a satisfaction questionnaire; all patients except one (94.4%) feeling satisfied with the operation. Two of the bars have been removed during the 18-month follow-up. Three fixating steel wire breakages requiring re-fixing of the stabilizers and two local skin adhesions over the bar were seen as postoperative complications. Conclusion: This article describes a novel instrument and surgical technique that is safely and easily used in minimally invasive correction of pectus carinatum deformities, with minimal complications and high satisfaction rates.

    Simultaneous minimally invasive surgery for pectus excavatum and recurrent pneumothorax
    (OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2012-10-01) BOSTANCI, KORKUT; Bostanci, Korkut; Evman, Serdar; Yuksel, Mustafa
    A 19-year old male who had a pectus excavatum deformity and recurrent primary spontaneous pneumothorax was admitted to our clinic. An intervention simultaneously combining a videothoracoscopic apical wedge resection and minimally invasive repair of the pectus excavatum deformity was successfully performed.
