Can pectus be cured?
A surgeon can correct pectus excavatum with a minimally invasive (Nuss procedure) or an open (Ravitch procedure) operation. Your surgeon will discuss which procedure is best for you. During the surgery, your surgeon repositions your sternum (breastbone) to a more outward position.
