Cryoanalgesia Therapy in Pain Management for Pectus Repair

Activity Description

Pain management is a major challenge for clinicians, who must ensure appropriate and effective pain control for their patients, while remaining cognizant of the various negative effects of opioid dependence and addiction. Postoperative pain control after pectus excavatum repair surgery is an Achilles' heel of the procedure, with the historical mainstays of narcotic based, multimodal therapy offering suboptimal results.

This activity evaluates the promising strategy of employing intra-operative cryoanalgesia following pectus excavatum repair for improved pain control outcomes. The leading experts share their clinical experiences, assess optimal surgical techniques, and review key strategies to ensure successful procedural implementation of cryoanalgesia therapy in daily practice.
