Assessment of 3D scanners for modeling Pectus Carinatum corrective bar

Moreira, António H. J.; Fonseca, João Gomes; Rodrigues, Pedro L.; Fonseca, Jaime C.; Pinho, A.C.M.; Correia-Pinto, Jorge; F. Rodrigues, Nuno

Pectus Carinatum (PC) is a chest deformity consisting on the anterior protrusion of the sternum and adjacent costal cartilages. Non-operative corrections, such as the orthotic compression brace, require previous information of the patient chest surface, to improve the overall brace fit. This paper focuses on the validation of the Kinect scanner for the modelling of an orthotic compression brace for the correcti...

Variations of the soft tissue thicknesses external to the ribs in Pectus Excava...

Rodrigues, Pedro L.; Direito-Santos, Bruno; Moreira, António H. J.; Fonseca, Jaime C.; Pinho, A.C.M.; F. Rodrigues, Nuno; Henriques-Coelho, Tiago

Background: Surgical repair of pectus excavatum (PE) has become more popular due to improvements in the minimally invasive Nuss procedure. The pre-surgical assessment of PE patients requires Computerized Tomography (CT), as the malformation characteristics vary from patient to patient. Objective: This work aims to characterize soft tissue thickness (STT) external to the ribs among PE patients. It also presents ...

Automatic prebent customized prosthesis for pectus excavatum minimally invasive...

Vilaça, João L.; Rodrigues, Pedro L.; Soares, Tony R.; Fonseca, Jaime C.; Pinho, António C.M.; Henriques-Coelho, Tiago; Correia-Pinto, Jorge

Pectus excavatum is the most common deformity of the thorax. A minimally invasive surgical correction is commonly carried out to remodel the anterior chest wall by using an intrathoracic convex prosthesis in the substernal position. The process of prosthesis modeling and bending still remains an area of improvement. The authors developed a new system, i3DExcavatum, which can automatically model and bend the bar...

Finite element analysis of pectus carinatum surgical correction via a minimally...

Neves, Sara C.; Pinho, António C.M.; Fonseca, Jaime C.; F. Rodrigues, Nuno; Henriques-Coelho, Tiago; Correia-Pinto, Jorge; Vilaça, João L.

Pectus carinatum (PC) is a chest deformity caused by a disproportionate growth of the costal cartilages compared to the bony thoracic skeleton, pulling the sternum towards, which leads to its protrusion. There has been a growing interest on using the ‘reversed Nuss’ technique as minimally invasive procedure for PC surgical correction. A corrective bar is introduced between the skin and the thoracic cage and pos...

Three-dimensional vs standard laparoscopy: comparative assessment using a valid...

Cicione, A; Autorino, R; Breda, A; De Sio, M; Damiano, R; Fusco, F; Greco, F; Carvalho-Dias, E; Mota, P; Nogueira, C; Pinho, P; Mirone, V

OBJECTIVE: To compare the last generation of 3-dimensional imaging (3D) vs standard 2-dimensional imaging (2D) laparoscopy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A prospective observational study was conducted during the 4th Minimally Invasive Urological Surgical Week Course held in Braga (Portugal) in April 2013. The course participants and faculty were asked to perform standardized tasks in the dry laboratory setting and ra...

Pectus Excavatum postsurgical outcome based on preoperative soft body dynamics ...

Moreira, António H. J.; Rodrigues, Pedro L.; Fonseca, Jaime C.; Pinho, A. C. Marques de; Rodrigues, Nuno F.; Pinto, Jorge Correia; Vilaça, João L.

Pectus excavatum is the most common congenital deformity of the anterior chest wall, in which an abnormal formation of the rib cage gives the chest a caved-in or sunken appearance. Today, the surgical correction of this deformity is carried out in children and adults through Nuss technic, which consists in the placement of a prosthetic bar under the sternum and over the ribs. Alth ough this technique has been ...

Fonseca, João; Moreira, António H. J.; Rodrigues, Pedro L.; Fonseca, Jaime C.; Pinho, A. C. Marques de; Rodrigues, Nuno F.; Pinto, Jorge Correia

Pectus excavatum is the most common congenital deformity of the anterior thoracic wall. The surgical correction of such deformity, using Nuss procedure, consists in the placement of a personalized convex prosthesis into sub-sternal position to correct the deformity. The aim of this work is the CT-scan substitution by ultrasound imaging for the pre-operative diagnosis and pre-modeling of the prosthesis, in order...


Úlcera Flebostática. Estudo Prospectivo de 202 Doentes

Fradique, AC; Pupo, A; Quaresma, L; Palma-Rosa, A; Fernandes, M; Silva, G; Almeida, H; Diogo, C; Pinho, AC

Durante um período de 16 anos foram estudados, de forma prospectiva, 202 doentes portadores de insuficiência venosa crónica complicada de úlcera de perna, totalizando 257 úlceras. Este conjunto constitui uma série homogénea, em que foi sempre mantida a mesma orientação diagnóstica e terapêutica, quer médica, quer cirúrgica. Foi definido como objectivo a cura da úlcera em ambulatório, com tratamento conservador....


On the relation between inward pointing velocity conditions

Lopes, Sofia Oliveira; Fontes, Fernando A. C. C.; Pinho, Maria do Rosário de

Inward pointing velocity conditions are important in the study of whether trajectories remain within sets (the so-called invariance or viability) and also to establish constraint qualifications (CQ) under which necessary conditions of optimality for control problem can be guaranteed to be nondegenerate NCO or normal. In our research on nondegenerate NCO we have studied different types of CQs in the form of inwa...
