Abstract
Between 2002 and 2003, this technique was used on 10 patients, and the bars were removed easily from all patients. The new procedure uses benders at both ends of the pectus bar as supporting points. This reduces the force required to straighten the bar and stabilizes the bar during removal. Most importantly, our procedure eliminates the need for change of body position.
