Article Abstract
A case of an adolescent boy with persistent thoracic symptoms and recurrence of pectus excavatum (after previous treatment with the Nuss procedure) is presented. During thoracoscopic revision, subdiaphragmatic migration of the implant was noted. The bar was removed without damage to the intra-abdominal organs or other complications, and a new bar was placed and stabilised. Revision showed successful correction of the thorax, and the boy had no thoracic symptoms.

Background And Objective: Pectus excavatum is a common congenital chest wall abnormality characterized by a concave appearance of the chest, and minimally invasive repair of pectus excavatum (MIRPE) is the surgical treatment of choice. A rapidly growing field of research is pain management in children undergoing MIRPE, with many shifts in practice occurring over the last decade. The primary objectives of this narrative review are to describe current methods of perioperative pain management and the development of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) to improve the experience of patients undergoing MIRPE.
