Abstract
Sternochondroplasty surgery yielded better results than the Nuss procedure and more patients with asymmetric PE, less pain, and fewer complications. Nuss surgery had shorter operating times than SCP, younger patients, more symmetric PE, and 3 patients who experienced severe postoperative asymmetric pectus carinatum. In summary, for asymmetric PE the best indication is SCP.
