Abstract:
The surgical treatment of pectus excavatum has a history of more than 100 years, which has gone through from traditional open surgery to the current popular minimally invasive surgery. Nuss procedure, as the most classic minimally invasive operation, has been improved in accordance with the clinical needs since its inception to achieve fewer complications and better results, but there are still limitations that are difficult to break through, attracting a large number of scholars to make continuous innovation and develop updated devices and operation methods. This article reviews the history of funnel chest surgery, application and improvement of Nuss operation, double compression and complete fixation bar system and Wang procedure.
