RESUMO

Pectus excavatum (PEX) is a depression of the sternum in relation to the costal cartilages. Psychological disorders and exercise intolerance are current clinical abnormalities detectables. Surgical correction of PEX has gained a new momentum since the introduction of the new minimally invasive repair by Nuss. The present study aims to compare the results of Robicsek (conventional) versus Nuss (minimally invasive) technique. Two groups of patients were studied at our Service: a) 40 patients with normal thoracic box configuration; b) 40 patients with PEX. The latter were operated according to the Robicsek (20 pacients) or Nuss technique (20 patients). Both techniques manage to successful postoperative results, but Haller index and clinical measures suggest that results are significant differents. Nuss technique may obtain the best thoracic shape
