Abstract:
We would like to report a 14-year-old male patient with pectus excavatum that recurred 10 years later after Ravitch surgery who was successfully operated using Nuss procedure. The patient underwent pectus excavatum surgery using Nuss procedure. The patient was discharged from the hospital at post-operative 5.day. The bar is planned to be removed in post-operative 3.year. In conclusion, surgery of pectus excavatum that recurred after open surgery is risky. Nuss procedure, which is a minimally-invasive technique, is a safe procedure that can be successfully applied in recurring cases due to short time of surgery and minimal blood loss.
