Feeling the difference: Long-term Sensory Outcomes Following the Minimally Invasive Repair of Pectus Excavatum with and without Intercostal Nerve Cryoablation: a multicenter prospective observation study

Abstract

Intercostal nerve cryoablation (INC) during the minimally invasive repair of pectus excavatum (MIRPE) provides effective post-operative analgesia; long-term neurosensory effects of MIRPE/INC remain unclear. The study aimed to compare chest wall sensation at pectus-bar removal in patients who previously had MIRPE with and without INC.
