Özet

OBJECTIVES: The Nuss technique comprises the placement of an intrathoracic bar behind the sternum. However, besides improving the body posture through the correction of the pectus excavatum (PE), this procedure may cause or worsen thoracic scoliosis as a result of the considerable stress loaded on the chest wall and the thorax. Our goal was to investigate the impact of the Nuss procedure on the thoracic spinal curvature in patients with PE.
