Radiologic considerations in patients undergoing the Nuss procedure for correction of pectus excavatum

C R Sidden et al. Pediatr Radiol. 2001 Jun.

Abstract

The Nuss procedure has succeeded in minimizing incisions, blood loss, sternal fracturing, operating room time, recovery time, and length of hospital stay. Knowledge of the pre- and postoperative radiologic considerations is essential in providing appropriate imaging support to the surgeons performing this innovative, minimally invasive procedure.
