[Intercostal nerve cryoablation in correction of pectus excavatum in adults].

Objective: To evaluate an effectiveness of cryoanalgesia in older patients with pectus excavatum and to determine feasibility of further research.

Material And Methods: We have developed an original technique of intercostal nerve cryoablation for correction of pectus excavatum in adults. The results of intercostal nerve cryoablation during correction of pectus excavatum in 10 older patients were analyzed.
