Pectus excavatum - funnel chest
Pectus excavatum is a birth defect that causes the chest to look sunken. Thoracic surgery is recommended to correct moderate to severe cases of pectus excavatum. The NUSS operation is performed by the highly skilled thoracic surgeon Hans Kristian Pilegaard at our hospital in Aarhus.
