ABSTRACT
Minimally invasive repair of pectus excavatum using a metal bar, as advocated by Nuss, has been broadly accepted recently for its aesthetic aspect. There are many types of pectus excavatum, and various treatment methods, as well. Pectus excavatum may be accompanied by other congenital anomalies, so many modified repair methods have been developed and performed. We report a case of a 33-year-old woman with pectus excavatum and breast hypoplasia, which were simultaneously corrected with Nuss procedure using a substernal steel bar and mammoplasty.
