Plast Reconstr Surg Glob Open

November 2024

From the Department of Pediatric Surgery, IRCCS Istituto Giannina Gaslini, Genoa, Italy.

Article Synopsis
  • Poland syndrome (PS) is a rare congenital condition that primarily affects the pectoralis major muscle and presents several thoracic anomalies, necessitating a classification system and treatment algorithm developed in 2016.
  • Between January 2016 and June 2023, 52 PS patients were treated following this algorithm, which included various surgical and conservative procedures; the majority of cases had soft-tissue defects requiring intervention.
  • The results demonstrated that after treatment, many patients improved significantly and could be reclassified; the algorithm proved effective, with few complications reported, highlighting the importance of a multidisciplinary approach for adolescents.

Several rerouting techniques have been presented but are associated with vulnerability to external compression, which might cause hemodynamic instability, especially in the presence of chest deformity. In this study, we report a rare case of successful heart transplantation in the presence of situs inversus and pectus excavatum.
