This study shows the modified Nuss bar removal is safe and effective for pectus excavatum repair. The procedure is quick, with minimal blood loss and a low complication rate, allowing for same-day discharge.

Area of Science:

  • Thoracic surgery
  • Pediatric surgery
  • Minimally invasive surgery

Background:

  • The Nuss procedure is standard for pectus excavatum repair.
  • Limited documentation exists on the bar removal process.
  • This study evaluates a modified bar removal technique.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the safety and efficacy of a modified Nuss bar removal procedure.
  • To analyze outcomes including operation time, blood loss, and complications.
  • To determine optimal timing for bar removal post-Nuss procedure.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 186 patients undergoing bar removal.
  • All patients had unilateral incision and metallic stabilizers.
  • General anesthesia was administered, and the bar was removed through the original incision.

Main Results:

  • Mean operation time was 12 minutes with minimal blood loss (5 mL).
  • 1.6% of patients experienced mild pneumothorax; no infections occurred.
  • All patients were discharged within 24 hours with no observed recurrence during follow-up.

Conclusions:

  • Modified Nuss bar removal is safe and effective.
  • Bar removal can be performed 2 years or longer after the Nuss procedure.
  • A specific technique involving loosening the bar from the fibrous capsule is recommended.
