Abstract:
Pectus excavatum is an anterior chest wall deformity that now can be corrected with a minimally invasive technique known as the Nuss procedure. Patient criteria and assessment for this new surgical procedure are defined clearly in advance to ensure the need for surgical intervention. A multidisciplinary team approach has been established at Children's Hospital of The King's Daughters, Norfolk, Va. Team members work cooperatively throughout the perioperative cycle, addressing not only the surgical procedure but also pain management and postoperative recovery. This dedicated team approach helps ensure a successful outcome for the patient.
