Personal experience in minimally invasive treatment of pectus carinatum

Abstract

Pectus Carinatum is the second mostly encountered congenital chest wall deformity following Pectus Excavatum. Deformity becomes apparent during puberty, due to active growth; which leads to cosmetic and psychosocial problems. “Minimally Invasive Repair of Pectus Carinatum” gained popularity among surgeons during last decade. In this chapter, we try to explain surgical details, preoperative and postoperative workup period of the deformity. We also present our whole experience about correction of pectus carinatum. © Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2016.
