Thoracoscopic Nuss Procedure for Treating Pectus Excavatum

Applying Nuss procedure, two 2-3 cm incisions are made in the side of the chest. The minimally invasive procedure results in lower blood loss and avoids osteotomy. Patients stay in the hospital for only 5 to 7 days. Most importantly, it can significantly improve the cardiopulmonary function and the caved-in appearance of the anterior chest. 9 papers about the related experience in the procedure have been published since 2008 (8 papers published on Science).
