The use of thoracic epidural, paravertebral nerve blockade and video-assisted intercostal nerve cryoablation for postoperative analgesia after minimally invasive repair of pectus excavatum

This study is to evaluate the optimal postoperative analgesia modality (patient controlled analgesia,paravertebral nerve block, and intercostal nerve cryoablation) after minimally invasive repair of pectus excavatum (MIRPE) using a randomized control trial.


Why this Research Matters

The study is to learn more about treating pain after having a minimally invasive repair of pectus excavatum while randomly assigning different pain methods that are typically used for this procedure.


Who can Participate

Child and Teen

All patients with a pectus excavatum deformity that will undergo a MIRPE procedure.
