Abstract
Background: Metal hypersensitivity after Nuss procedure is a known complication, but there is no accepted treatment guideline available.
Methods: Patients undergoing Nuss procedure between 2013-2023 were examined retrospectively. Patients with known allergy, positive blood and/or culture tests, and re-do cases were excluded.
Results: Nine of 307 (2.9%) patients developed postoperative allergy. No significant difference was found between single or double bar patients. All were treated with medical protocol. No premature bar removal was necessitated.
Conclusion: Medical treatment was successful in postoperative metal allergy after Nuss procedure. Ruling out other causes like surgical technical problems or infections is necessary for correct diagnosis and accurate treatment.
