Use of Multiple Pectus Bars to Support Chest Drives Europe Pectus Bar Market
Generally, single-bar insertion applies a dynamic force on the vicinity of the bar, only correcting the deformity around it and not at distal regions. Therefore, the use of additional bars should be considered to exert force on multiple sites of the thorax, allowing the coverage of multiple rib levels. With pectus bar displacement being one of the most common post-surgical complications, several ongoing studies suggest the use of multiple pectus bars to ensure proper placement of the bar for a longer duration. Currently, three known surgical techniques are used in the multiple bar insertion approach: the parallel bar insertion technique, the XI bar insertion technique, and the crossbar insertion technique. According to the study "The effectiveness of double-bar correction for pectus excavatum: A comparison between the parallel bar and cross bar techniques," published by NLM in September 2020, parallel bars and cross bars are both used on a certain number of patients to check the effectiveness of these techniques. As per the study, both parallel bar and crossbar insertion techniques were more effective than single pectus bar; however, the crossbar technique is superior to the parallel bar technique for correcting complex and wide range of chest wall deformities. Moreover, various ongoing studies reveal that the multiple bar techniques can easily avoid complications associated with the use of a single bar. As per one such study "Modification of the Nuss procedure: the crossed bar technique for new subtypes of pectus excavatum," published by Springer in March 2023, about 99% of patients reported satisfaction with the crossbar technique after six months post-surgery. Thus, the increasing inclination toward the use of multiple pectus bars instead of a single bar for the treatment can act as a trend for fueling the growth of the Europe pectus bar market in the upcoming years.
Europe Pectus Bar Market Overview
The German Scoliosis Network reports that approximately 700,000 people suffer from scoliosis in Germany. Girls are affected four times more often by scoliosis than boys. Scoliosis is one of the causes of a sunken chest. Numerous people in Germany are suffering from the deformity. Thus, the number of surgeries performed to repair pectus excavatum is increasing in the country.
Further, in Germany, surgeries for pectus excavatum are preferred mostly via traditional methods instead of minimally invasive surgeries. According to data published in the Cardiothoracic Surgeon (CTS) in 2021, traditional repairs remained common in Germany, especially among adults aged 25 and older, which indicates reluctance toward the adoption of technical advancements. However, open repair techniques such as Rehbein's method, the Willital-Hegemann procedure, and the Erlangen method have been widely embraced in Germany and endorsed by influential surgeons.
