| dc.description.abstract | In 1997, Nuss introduced a minimally invasive non-destructive procedure for pectus excavatum, which revolutionised the treatment of the condition. This review will give a brief history on the management of this condition, followed by a review of 1 034 cases that have been repaired from 2008 to 2018. | en_ZA |
