Application of Shengmai decoction to accelerate recovery after pectus excavatum NUSS surgery

This study examines the application of Shengmai decoction, a traditional Chinese medicine, in enhancing recovery after pectus excavatum NUSS surgery. Shengmai decoction, known for its potential to regulate immune responses, promote tissue repair, alleviate pain, and improve cardiovascular function, offers a promising intervention for postoperative rehabilitation. The study explores its effectiveness in reducing postoperative complications, enhancing patient satisfaction, and optimizing neuroendocrine responses. Although preliminary evidence supports its benefits, further clinical trials are necessary to standardize its use in terms of dosage, timing, and duration. Overall, Shengmai decoction presents a valuable adjunct to modern medical practices, potentially improving recovery outcomes for patients undergoing pectus excavatum NUSS surgery.
