Revision after prior failed pectus excavatum repair: higher risks and greater complications than primary surgery.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Revision of a prior failed pectus excavatum (PE) repair is occasionally required. These procedures may be technically more complex and have a greater risk of complications. This study was performed to evaluate the outcomes of adult patients undergoing revision procedures.
