Abstract Background Minimally invasive repair is the standard treatment for patients with pectus excavatum. Recent data suggest that using a laryngeal mask airway during thoracic surgery might offer advantages over endotracheal intubation, such as faster recovery from surgery, shorter anesthesia times and fewer complications. The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and potential benefits of laryngeal mask airway use in minimally invasive pectus excavatum repair. Methods Retrospective analysis of electronic anesthesia protocols and records of patients who underwent pectus excavatum repair at a large academic center between 2019 and 2024. Perioperative data, complications, and procedural times were evaluated. Patients who had their airways secured with endotracheal intubation were compared to those who were ventilated using a laryngeal mask. Results Data of 48 patients were analyzed (n = 32 with endotracheal intubation, n = 16 for laryngeal mask). The use of a laryngeal mask significantly shortened anesthesia induction time (4.0 vs. 7.5 min, p = 0.002), recovery time (9.1 vs. 19.0 min, p = 0.002) and emergence time (7.0 vs. 17.0 min, p |
