Article Abstract
The minimally invasive repair of pectus excavatum (MIRPE), or Nuss procedure, is regarded as the gold standard technique for the treatment of symptomatic pectus excavatum. Minimally invasive repair of pectus excavatum is regarded as a low-risk operation with a reported life-threatening complication rate estimated at around 0.1%. Presented are three cases of right internal mammary artery injury (RIMA) after MIRPE resulting in massive hemorrhage in both the acute and chronic postoperative setting and subsequent management strategies. Exploratory thoracoscopy and angioembolization were utilized which achieved prompt hemostasis and allowed for complete patient recovery.

Cardiospondylocarpofacial syndrome (CSCFS) is an extremely rare autosomal dominant disorder resulting from variant in the gene, which encodes the transforming growth factor-β-activated kinase 1 (TAK1). Only 26 cases of CSCFS have been reported worldwide. The main manifestations are growth retardation, hypotonia, dysmorphic facial features, skeletal and limb abnormalities, cardiac septal defects with valve dysplasia, cardiomyopathy, and deafness with inner ear malformations.

Background: The author presents his own experience using breast implants (BIs) or fat grafting, commonly called lipofilling (LPF), to correct breast hypoplasia.
Objectives: Compare the aesthetic results obtained in a study group (SG) using BIs in breast hypoplasia correction with those of a control group (CG) treated with LPF, analyzing the influence of breast and chest deformities (tuberous breast, breast volume differences/asymmetries, nipple-areola complex asymmetry, pectus excavatum, and carinatum) in the outcomes.
Methods: A randomized, open-label controlled study was performed.

Importance: Postoperative antimicrobial prophylaxis (PAP) is frequently used following pectus excavatum repair and accounts for the highest relative burden of potentially avoidable postoperative antibiotic days among pediatric general surgical procedures.
Objective: To evaluate the association of postoperative antibiotic prophylaxis with postoperative rates of surgical site infections, reoperation, and readmission in children undergoing pectus excavatum repair who did and did not receive postoperative antibiotic prophylaxis.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This cohort study included children aged younger than 18 years undergoing pectus excavatum repair from January 2021 to December 2023 at 141 hospitals participating in the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program-Pediatric.
