Introduction: Postoperative pain control remains the primary reason for inpatient stay after minimally invasive repair of pectusexcavatum.

The indications have been as diverse as anti-retrovirus treatment associated facial lipoatrophy, pectusexcavatum and post-breast reconstruction contour deformities.

Materials and methods: Patients were randomized to epidural or PCA following minimally invasive repair of pectusexcavatum with standard protocols for each arm.

Some clinical traits appear important and may serve as reliable indicators for predicting the likelihood of pectusexcavatum in children before severe symptoms present.
