Surgical methods used in the treatment of pectus deformities, or in other words, chest wall deformities, stand out with their high success rates and create great satisfaction among patients with pectus deformities. Generally, the NUSS procedure is preferred for pectus excavatum patients, the ABRAMSON procedure for pectus carinatum patients, the Sandwich method for pectus arcuatum patients, and the Ravitch open surgery for some complex cases.
The satisfying outcome we achieved approximately 1 year after performing a Nuss procedure with a double bar on our 16-year-old patient who presented to our clinic with complaints of sunken chest (pectus excavatum, also known as funnel chest).
