Anthropometry provides feasible and non-invasive method of pectus deformities evaluation. Based on the study results, anthropometry should be performed prior to CT examination in order to select patients for surgical treatment. Anthropometric measurements are helpful in accurate documentation of growth, longitudinal observation of the patient, and can support decision concerning the type of surgery.

“…We used asymmetric bar in two recent cases and the early postoperative result was very good. A precise morphologic analysis of the defect, presented by Cartoski et al (49) can be useful in the accurate qualification for Nuss or modified Ravitch methods what will undoubtedly improve the results of pectus excavatum repair.…”

Pectus excavatum is one of the most common chest malformation. It occurs 4-5 times more often in boys. Familiar occurrence of the malformation has been observed. Two surgical techniques have been performed predominantly: the Ravitch method (1949) with further modifications and the Nuss minimally invasive method (1998). The aim of the study was presentation of our own, slightly modified surgical technique, its results and original analgesia method in early postoperative period. results. Very good result was achieved in 72%, good in 22% and bad in 5%. No mortality and inner organ injuries were noticed. Minor complications occurred in 12% of children. conclusions. The Nuss procedure for the correction of pectus excavatum gives good and very good results in 94% of children. The minimal invasiveness of this method allows to use this method for minor defects. The limitation of this technique is asymmetric defect in which the Ravitch procedure is still the method of choice.
