Comparative Analysis Of Modified Vs. Classical Nuss Technique In The Surgical Correction Of Pectus Excavatum "

Although the NUSS technique has become the standard minimally invasive procedure for correcting this deformity, there is a lack of comparative data between the classic and modified NUSS techniques. This research aims to fill this gap by comparing these two methods in terms of various outcomes, such as operative time, postoperative pain control, length of stay in the intensive care unit, and overall cosmetic results. This study addresses the need to optimize surgical techniques to improve patient outcomes. By evaluating these two approaches, the research seeks to provide insights that could lead to better management strategies for patients with pectus excavatum, potentially influencing future clinical practices.
