Opioid Prescriptions at Discharge After Minimally Invasive Repair of Pectus Excavatum Are Reduced With Cryoablation

This study evaluates intercostal nerve cryoablation as an opioid-sparing strategy for patients undergoing minimally invasive pectus excavatum repair (MIRPE). Results demonstrate reduced opioid prescriptions at discharge when cryoablation is incorporated into the perioperative pain management protocol.
