Congenital chest wall deformities, including pectus excavatum and pectus carinatum, represent common thoracic anomalies in pediatric populations. These conditions can lead to functional impairments, psychological distress, and aesthetic concerns. The aim of this study was to evaluate modern surgical approaches for correcting congenital chest wall deformities, assess their effectiveness, and analyze postoperative outcomes. This research was conducted at the Andijan State Medical Institute, involving pediatric patients with various chest wall malformations. The results demonstrate that minimally invasive techniques, such as the Nuss procedure, combined with patient-specific treatment planning, significantly improve functional and cosmetic outcomes, reduce postoperative complications, and enhance patient satisfaction.
