Abstract

Pectus deformities represent a spectrum of relatively common congenital chest malformations. The adoption of less invasive techniques has renewed interest in surgical repair by both patients and clinicians. The aim of this review is to identify current management, outcomes, and controversy in the treatment of pectus excavatum and pectus carinatum.
