Finite element analysis of pectus carinatum surgical correction via a minimally...
Neves, Sara C.; Pinho, A. C. Marques de; Fonseca, Jaime C.; Rodrigues, Nuno F.; Coelho, Tiago Henriques; Pinto, Jorge Correia; 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 a minimally invasive procedure for PC surgical correction. A corrective bar is introduced between the skin and the thoracic cage and p...
A laparoscopic surgery training interface
Queirós, Sandro F.; Vilaça, João L.; F. Rodrigues, Nuno; Neves, Sara C.; Teixeira, Pedro M.; Correia-Pinto, JorgeLaparoscopy is a surgical procedure on which operations in the abdomen are performed through small incisions using several specialized instruments. The laparoscopic surgery success greatly depends on surgeon skills and training. To achieve these technical high-standards, different apprenticeship methods have been developed, many based on in vivo training, an approach that involves high costs and complex setup p...
