PECTUS CARINATUM DEVELOPMENT AFTER THE NUSS PROCEDURE: A CASE REPORT
Development of pectus carinatum is a very rare complication of the Nuss procedure.This complication may lead to early bar removal, which hinders sternal protrusion but induces the recurrence of pectus excavatum.We report a case of pectus carinatum development following a Nuss procedure and pectus excavatum recurrence after bar removal to discuss what could have been done better from today's perspective.
