Description
Piotr Jerzy Skrzypczak and co-authors compare one bar against two in chest-wall repair surgery. Their 2024 study covers 1,238 patients who had the Nuss procedure for a sunken chest at one centre over two decades. Matched groups of 546 patients each balance age, sex, and chest shape.
Both groups ended with the same correction of the chest index. Problems after surgery, though, ran near twice as common with two bars. Air leaks, blood in the chest, fluid build-up, and bar shifts all rose. Statistical models kept two bars as a risk factor on their own. The authors advise weighing the extra bar's cost in harm.
