Abstract
Adults with severe pectus deformities (PI > 4.0) and asymmetric defects are at a greater risk of recurrence after a Nuss procedure. These patients may better be served with a modified Ravitch repair initially. Reoperation for failed pectus repair in adults can be performed safely with outstanding results.
