Detaljeret beskrivelse

Follow up of patients after receiving percutaneous cryoneurolysis for pectus excavatum repair, who undergo a physical examination and a neurosensory assessment of the chest wall at 1, 3, 6, 12, and 24 months postoperatively, corresponding to the scheduled follow-up visits. In addition, to evaluate neuropathic pain, chronic pain, and quality of life, patients complete validated questionnaires.

Patients who underwent percutaneous cryoneurolysis for the Nuss procedure pain management

All patients who underwent surgical correction of pectus excavatum via the Nuss procedure between July 1, 2022 and February 28, 2026 are considered eligible for enrollment. Additionally, for the prospective component, patients scheduled for surgery up to December 31, 2026 at the Pediatric Surgery department of our institution will be considered eligible.

Inclusion criteria:

Age greater than 14 years. Patients who underwent percutaneous cryoneurolysis. Patients who underwent surgical correction of pectus excavatum according to the Nuss procedure.

Patients who withhold consent to participate in the study, patients with pre-existing neurological conditions, and patients who do not attend the scheduled follow-up visits will be excluded from the study.

Assessment tools include validated questionnaires (S-LANSS and PedsQL) and a structured physical examination of thoracic sensitivity. These tools are administered at pre-specified follow-up appointments (timepoints). The sensory physical examination is conducted using four standardized stimuli, selected to systematically assess each class of afferent nerve fibers of the intercostal nerves. For cold thermal sensation (Aδ fibers), a latex glove containing an ice-water mixture (4-10°C) is applied in contact with the skin over predetermined anterior thoracic areas. For warm thermal sensation (unmyelinated C fibers), an analogous container filled with water at approximately 40°C, heated using a bottle warmer, is employed. Tactile sensitivity (Aβ fibers) is assessed using a standardized camel-hair neurological brush for light touch, and Von Frey filaments (5.07/10 grams) for pressure sensitivity.
