Surgical Treatment Results of Young and Adult Cats with Pectus Excavatum

Pektus ekskavatum (PE) farklı türlerde görüldüğü önceki yıllarda rapor edilmiş bir kongenital toraks duvarı deformitesidir. Tedavisinde çoğu zaman cerrahi yöntemler tercih edilir ve hastanın yaşı ve sternumun esnekliği göz önüne alınarak eksternal veya internal splintlerden faydalanılır. Bu çalışmada PE 'nin geleneksel eksternal ve internal splint uygulaması ve sternal döndürme teknikleri ile tedavisi ile elde edilen klinik ve radyografik bulguların paylaşılması amaçlanmıştır. Bu maksatla çalışmamızda PE, 8 hastada sternal döndürme, 1 hastada internal splint, 9 hastada ise eksternal splint kullanılarak tedavi edilmiştir. Hastaların yaşı 2 ila 24 ay arasında değişmekteydi. Oniki aylıktan küçük kedilerin tedavisinde eksternal splint tekniği tercih edildi. Frontosagital indeks (FSI), vertebral indeks (VI) ve klinik önem skorları cerrahi girişim öncesi ve sonrasında tespit edildi. Ortalama FSI, VI ve klinik önem skorları, eksternal splint ve sternal döndürme uygulanan gruplar için sırasıyla 2.1, 10.0 ve 0.8 ve 1.8, 11.3 ve 0.4 olarak hesaplandı. Çalışmanın sonucunda eksternal splint ve sternal döndürme grubunda FSI ve VI değerleri normal referans aralığa getirilemedi ancak klinik önem skorları iyileştirilebildi. Sonuç olarak kedilerde PE 'un tedavisinde ilk kez kullanılan sternal döndürme tekniği ile elde edilen sonuçlar her ne kadar FSI ve VI indeks değerleri normal sınırlara çekilemese de tatminkâr bulundu. Ayrıca araştırıcıların görüşüne göre, sternal döndürme tekniğinin 12 aylıktan küçük kedilerde PE 'un tedavisi için kullanılmasının ayrıca araştırılması gerekmektedir

Pektus Ekskavatum Hastası Genç ve Yetişkin Kedilerde Cerrahi Tedavi Sonuçları

Pectus excavatum (PE) is an uncommon, congenital thoracic wall deformity that has been previously documented in a variety of species. Most of the time, the preferred treatment modality is surgical. External and internal splints may also be used according to the age of the patient and pliability of the sternum. In this study, the authors have aimed to share the clinical and radiographic results obtained in the treatment of PE by traditional external splintage, internal splintage and sternal turnover techniques in cats. For this purpose, PE was treated using the sternal turnover technique in 8 patients, internal splint in 1 patient and external splint in 9 patients. Ages of the patients varied between 2-24 months. The external splint technique was preferred to treat cats aged younger than 12 months. Frontosagittal indices (FSI), vertebral indices (VI) and clinical severity scores (CSS) were determined before and after surgical interventions. Mean FSI, VI and CSS values were 2.1, 10.0 and 0.8 and 1.8, 11.3 and 0.4 in external splint and sternal turnover groups, respectively. At the end of the study, FSI and VI values did not reach the reference interval, however, CSS values were improved in both the external splint and sternal turnover groups. In conclusion, results of the sternal turnover technique, used for the first time in feline patients with PE, were satisfactory even though complete recovery in FSI and VI values could not be achieved. Also, in the opinion of the researcher, results of using sternal turnover technique in feline PE patients younger than 12 months of age should be further investigated
