Wang procedure: Background, characteristics and application

Wenlin chest is a rare thoracic deformity, which is characterized by protrusive upper chest wall and depressed lower middle chest wall, and the root cause of the deformty is the thickening and deformation of sternum. Because the sternum is too hard, the normal sandwich technique cannot correct this deformity. We have made a special name for this deformity and designed operations for it. We performed pre-shaping on the sternum at first, and then implemented Wenlin procedure and Wang procedure for correction and achieved satisfactory results. The operation of a 28-year-old Wenlin chest patient was reported in this article.

“…Since Nuss procedure appeared, the treatment of thoracic deformity has entered the era of minimally invasive surgery [4] . All the operations for the treatment of thoracic deformity are divided into two categories: one is for depression deformity, including Nuss procedure [4] , Wang procedure [5][6][7][8][9] and Wung procedure [10,11] ; the other is for protrusion deformity, including Abramson procedure [12] and Wenlin procedure [13][14][15][16][17][18] . From the nature of surgery, Nuss procedure [4] and Abramson procedure [12] are mechanical external force plastic surgery, while Wang procedure and Wenlin procedure are template plastic surgery [1,2] .…”

“…Wang procedure [5][6][7][8][9] and Wenlin procedure [13][14][15][16][17][18] are direct plastic surgery, mainly aiming at local correction of lesions, which are more suitable for the treatment of acute angle deformity theoretically. However, as mentioned above, acute angle deformity is a very severe structural change, and there is often severe bone hyperplasia at the top of the acute angle.…”

Wenlin chest is a rare deformity, which was previously regarded as a kind of pectus carinatum. Due to its special structure, it should be an independent deformity. The obvious feature of this deformity is that it includes both protrusion and depression on the anterior chest wall, which is a special type of complex deformity. Because of the abnormal thickening of the sternum, the general sandwich technique cannot obtain satisfactory results. We used special pre-shaping technique for preparation, and then used Wenlin procedure and Wang procedure for correction, and achieved good results. This article introduces the operation of a 22-year-old male Wenlin chest patient.
