Abstract
The minimally invasive Nuss procedure is currently the preferred surgical approach for treatment of pectus excavatum. During this procedure, a retrosternal bar is inserted which instantly corrects the deformity. The bar typically remains in place for 2 to 3 years, during which time the chest is considered to have adopted its new shape. Removal of the bar is generally considered to be a nondemanding procedure. Notwithstanding, it is associated with rare but potentially life-threatening complications.
