Use of cryoanalgesia as a postoperative pain management for open pectus carinatum repair

This retrospective study evaluates cryoanalgesia as a postoperative pain control method for open pectus carinatum repair in five pediatric patients. Results showed minimal pain scores, short hospital stays (1-2 days), and no neuralgia complications at one-year follow-up, supporting cryoanalgesia as a safe and effective alternative to traditional pain management approaches.
