Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The main objective of this study is to characterize the cardiorespiratory functional gain in patients with pectus excavatum following corrective surgery.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The secondary objectives are:

* To measure the quality of life of patients operated on for pectus excavatum
* Identify and describe post-operative complications
* Follow-up on the body mass index changes post-surgery
* Evaluate intraoperative hemodynamic parameters before and after the retrosternal bar is placed non-invasively
