Abstract
The pectus bar removal procedure is often considered a simple, straightforward surgery with a low incidence of complications. However, life-threatening bleeding complications have been reported requiring major measures for hemostatic control. Our objective is to share a simple maneuver that our group has systematically included in the bar removal procedure to facilitate bleeding control in case hemorrhage occurs.
