Funnel chest deformity Treatment in The Holy Family High Specialty Hospital
About the clinic
The Holy Family High Specialty Hospital in Rudna Mała, near Rzeszów, Poland, treats funnel chest deformity with thoracic surgery and rehabilitation. A private consultation with a thoracic surgeon may cost around $50, and Dr. Piotr Zamorski led the region’s first complex congenital chest wall correction in 2024.
Tests and surgical assessment
The thoracic surgery consultation helps assess whether surgery is suitable and supports postoperative follow-up. Diagnostic options include:
- Spirometry: Checks how well the lungs work.
- Chest CT: Uses a 64-row GE LightSpeed VCT scanner to image the chest.
- MRI: Provides additional imaging of the chest.
- Digital X-ray: Includes Multitom Rax 3D imaging and kyphosis angle measurement.
- CT-guided biopsy: Fine-needle or core-needle sampling of chest wall tissue.
Surgery and rehabilitation
The Department of Thoracic Surgery treats congenital chest wall deformities, including funnel chest (pectus excavatum) and pigeon chest (pectus carinatum). Dr. Piotr Zamorski led a complex pigeon chest correction with pediatric orthopedics specialists Grzegorz Inglot and Rafał Piasek. It was the first procedure of its kind in the Podkarpacie region.
- Funnel chest correction: Reconstructive surgery for congenital pectus excavatum.
- Pigeon chest correction: Complex surgery for congenital pectus carinatum, involving a thoracic surgery and pediatric orthopedics team.
- Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS): Uses a video camera and instruments inserted through one or two small chest incisions. The hospital performs most thoracic surgery procedures using minimally invasive methods.
- Other chest wall surgery: Treats rib deformities, rib tumors, and skin or tissue lesions such as lipomas and fibromas.
- Rehabilitation: Individual physiotherapy is available before and after surgery, as inpatient or outpatient care.
The department has 25 thoracic surgery beds and two rooms for increased postoperative supervision.
