Abstract:
The minimally invasive Nuss procedure has been widely utilized to treat pectus excavatum. In the present study, intraoperative ultrasonography to guide placement of a Nuss bar, instead of thoracoscopy, is described. This technique may be a simple and safe method to avoid cardiac injury.

Pneumothorax is a medical condition defined by the buildup of air in the pleural space between the lungs and the chest wall. This accumulation of air can lead to partial or complete lung collapse, resulting in a range of clinical manifestations. Understanding the clinical presentation and effective management strategies is crucial for healthcare professionals in providing timely and appropriate care to individuals with pneumothorax.
