Summary

This study tested a new way to manage pain after NUSS surgery for teens with pectus excavatum (a sunken chest). Instead of using opioids, doctors used ultrasound-guided nerve blocks with a long-lasting numbing medicine. The approach aimed to control severe pain safely without opioids. Seventeen teens took part, and the results suggest this method could be a good opioid-free option.
