The Future of Pectus Deformities: 3D Printing Technology and Innovative Treatment Methods
Pectus deformities can cause both aesthetic and functional problems by creating structural defects in the chest wall. These deformities can reduce the quality of life of patients and negatively affect their self-confidence. At our clinic, we aim to offer the best results to our patients by using innovative approaches and advanced technologies in the treatment of pectus deformities. Particularly, the personalized treatment methods we perform with 3D printing technology reinforce our leadership in this field.
• Use and Advantages of 3D Printing Technology
3D printing technology enables the creation of implants that are custom-designed for each patient’s unique anatomy. This technology revolutionizes the treatment of chest wall deformities.
Personalized Treatment:
Thanks to 3D printing technology, we can produce implants that fit the patient’s chest structure exactly. This personalized approach ensures that both aesthetic and functional results are optimized.
Faster Recovery:
3D-printed implant placement operations, performed using minimally invasive surgical methods, allow patients to recover more quickly. Our patients can return to their daily lives and work in a shorter time.
Aesthetic Superiority:
3D-printed implants closely mimic the natural appearance of the chest wall. This ensures that our patients feel better both physically and psychologically in the postoperative period.
• Accurate Results with Nuss and Abramson Procedures
In our clinic, we perform Nuss (Minimally Invasive Pectus Excavatum Repair – MIRPE) and Abramson (Minimally Invasive Pectus Carinatum Repair – MIRPC) procedures for treating pectus excavatum and pectus carinatum deformities. These methods correct chest deformities using minimally invasive techniques and are supported by 3D printing technology, allowing us to achieve error-free results.
Nuss Procedure:
This method, used to correct pectus excavatum deformity, involves placing a metal rod under the rib cage through small incisions. With 3D-printed implants, the placement of these rods becomes more precise and effective.
Abramson Procedure:
This method, used to correct pectus carinatum deformity, involves placing metal bars on the chest wall. 3D-printed implants ensure that these bars are placed correctly, leading to complete correction of the deformity.
• Innovative Clinic: Treatment Methods of the Future
Our clinic adopts a pioneering and innovative approach to the treatment of pectus deformities. We aim to provide the highest quality service to our patients through treatments that utilize 3D printing technology. The 3D-printed implant treatment, which we have successfully applied to 14 patients so far, reinforces our leadership in this field.
Patient Success Stories: Real Experiences
John’s Transformation:
John, a 25-year-old man from the UK, came to our clinic with severe pectus excavatum. After the Nuss procedure with a custom 3D-printed implant, he experienced not only physical improvement but also a significant increase in self-confidence. “The difference between before and after the surgery is incredible. I feel so much better, both physically and psychologically,” says John.
Ayse’s Journey:
Ayse, a 17-year-old with pectus carinatum, was struggling with self-confidence issues. After treatment with the Abramson procedure and a 3D-printed implant, her chest wall showed remarkable improvement. Ayse now actively participates in sports and social events, sharing her story to inspire others. “Thanks to the support of my doctors throughout the treatment process and the innovative methods used, my life has changed,” says Jessica.
Ali’s Experience of Minimally Invasive Surgery:
Ali opted for the Nuss procedure to correct his pectus excavatum. The minimally invasive nature of the surgery resulted in a shorter hospital stay and a faster return to his daily routine. “I recovered much faster than I expected and am very happy with the outcome,” says Ali.
