What the experts said
The study was a retrospective single institution study conducted in Phoenix from 2017 to 2021
The study compared patients who underwent Nuss procedure with cryoanalgesia in the first quarter of institutional experience versus the fourth quarter
350 patients underwent Nuss procedure with cryoanalgesia in the study period
Patients in the last quarter were discharged 1.3 days earlier than patients in the first quarter
Patients in the last quarter required 74% less opioids compared to the first quarter
Experience plays a role in cryoanalgesia outcomes for Nuss procedures
