The technique of minimally invasive repair of pectus excavatum is a new operation that allows for repair of this deformity without any cartilage resection or sternal osteotomy. The procedure has revolutionized the management of pectus excavatum. Six cases of pectus excavatum were referred to our centre for surgical correction. However, based on Haller's CT index 2 merited surgery. Our results suggest that the minimally invasive repair of pectus excavatum is an exciting operation with minimal morbidity and excellent results. The innovative incorporation of thoracoscopic techniques and small but important modifications to the techniques will make this operation very effective and safe.
漏斗胸微创修复技术是一种新型手术，可在不进行任何软骨切除或胸骨截骨的情况下修复这种畸形。该手术彻底改变了漏斗胸的治疗方式。有6例漏斗胸患者被转诊至我们中心进行手术矫正。然而，根据哈勒CT指数，其中2例适合手术。我们的结果表明，漏斗胸微创修复术是一种令人兴奋的手术，发病率极低，效果极佳。胸腔镜技术的创新性应用以及对技术的微小但重要的改进将使该手术非常有效且安全。
