While successful results are achieved without the need for surgery with vacuum devices and compression orthoses, especially in mild and moderate cases aged 16 and under, the Nuss Operation, a minimally invasive surgical method, is preferred in advanced patients.
Thoracic Surgery Specialists Op. Dr. Ömer Cenap Gülyüz and Op. Dr. Samed Baloğlu stated that chest wall deformities are more common than thought in the society and said, "Pectus Excavatum, popularly known as 'shoemaker's chest', and Pectus Carinatum, also called 'pigeon chest', are chest wall deformities that are congenital and become evident especially during adolescence. These disorders should not be considered only as an aesthetic problem. It can cause both physical and psychological problems in our patients, such as chest pain, shortness of breath, easy fatigue, decreased exercise capacity and loss of self-confidence. Today, "Thanks to developing surgical techniques and non-surgical treatment options, we can successfully treat these deformities. With the Nuss Operation, which is the closed method we apply especially to suitable patients, our patients feel less pain, are discharged in a shorter time, and can return to their daily lives much faster."

Dr. Operation Nuss was carried out by Samed Baloğlu with a closed method.
