Pectus Excavatum and the Nuss Procedure




Pectus Excavatum is a congenital condition that affects the sternum and ribcage which makes the center of the chest curve inward. At Children’s Hospital Colorado, we offer the Nuss Bar procedure, a minimally invasive surgery, which can restore volume to the chest, and increase heart and lung capacity. Learn more about the Nuss procedure in this animation, including how the surgery is performed and what to expect from recovery.
