title: Radiologic considerations in patients undergoing the Nuss procedure for correction of pectus excavatum.
abstract: The Nuss procedure has succeeded in minimizing incisions, blood loss, sternal fracturing, operating room time, recovery time, and length of hospital stay. Knowledge of the pre- and postoperative radiologic considerations is essential in providing appropriate imaging support to the surgeons performing this innovative, minimally invasive procedure.
