Abstract:
Awareness of pectus carinatum has increased among the medical community over the last several decades, as innovative options for nonsurgical
treatments have become more widely known. Management alternatives have shifted from open resective to minimally invasive
strategies, and finally, to reshaping the chest using both surgical and non-surgical modalities. We aim to review the evolution of the diagnosis
and treatment of pectus carinatum up to its current management.
