Topic overview
Intercostal nerve cryoablation (INC) during the minimally invasive repair of pectus excavatum (MIRPE) provides effective post-operative analgesia; long-term neurosensory effects of MIRPE/INC remain unclear. The study aimed to compare chest wall sensation at pectus-bar removal in patients who previously had MIRPE with and without INC.
