What the experts said
The study was a retrospective review conducted in Texas
The study aimed to evaluate hospital cost and length of stay for patients undergoing minimally invasive repair of pectus excavatum plus cryoanalgesia
The study included 44 patients total, with 29 undergoing cryoanalgesia
Patients who underwent cryoanalgesia had significantly less length of stay compared to those without cryoanalgesia
Patients who underwent cryoanalgesia had significantly lower complication rates compared to those without cryoanalgesia
Patients who underwent cryoanalgesia had lower hospital costs than those without cryoanalgesia, though this difference was not statistically significant
