Repair of pectus carinatum, carinatum/excavatum complex patients with doubly double bar technique

Surgical correction is needed for patients with pectus carinatum who do not adapt to bracing therapy. We performed the doubly double bar technique for ten patients who did not adapt to bracing therapy for patients with pectus carinatum and/or carinatum/excavatum complex type. A complete correction was achieved for all patients, and there were no complications. Our initial experience suggests that the doubly double bar technique can be performed effectively for pectus carinatum and/or carinatum/excavatum complex type patients.
