Abstract
The results of a comparative morphometric study of the parameters of the anterior chest wall of different groups of patients are presented in order to identify differences in the anatomical structure, which was important for further planning of surgical treatment.
Purpose of a study: to identify the features of the anatomical structure of the anterior chest wall in patients with congenital genetic and endocrine diseases.
Material and methods. A morphometric study of the anterior chest wall was conducted on 60 patients divided into three groups of 20 people. The 1st group included l women, the 2nd group – men, and the 3rd group included women with congenital genetic and endocrine disorders. The studies were conducted using physical examination, morphometric measurements and CT diagnostics. We developed a special questionnaire including the main anthropometric parameters of the anterior chest wall. A comparative assessment and statistical processing of the obtained data were carried out.
Results. According to the results of the morphometric study, statistically significant differences in the structure of the anterior chest wall were revealed in 3 groups of patients.
Conclusion. The data obtained during the study reveal the main features of the structure of the anterior chest wall in women with congenital genetic and endocrine disorders, which allows for more careful planning of the course of augmentation mammoplasty surgery and obtaining an aesthetically pleasing predictable result.
