Summary
The goal of this study is to determine the effect of Nuss minimally-invasive repair technique
of pectus excavatum (PE) on the postural stability in patients with PE.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
- How surgical chest wall repair will affect postural stability of PE patients?
- What is the difference in postural stability between patients with PE and healthy
controls? Participants will undergo the Nuss repair surgery and will be tested before
and afterwards for their postural stability with the use of the posturography method.
Researchers will compare PE male patients and healthy young men to see if PE posture defect
affects postural stability.
