Nuss procedure for pediatric patients with pectus excavatum has been practiced worldwide, including in Japan, due to the simple procedure and has a high therapeutic effect. Because it is usually performed under thoracoscopy to secure the safety, it is performed not only by pediatric or plastic surgeons but also by general thoracic surgeons. On the other hand, a risk of infection must always be considered in this method in which a foreign metal bar is used. In particular, when the skin barrier mechanism is declining due to skin diseases such as atopic dermatitis, the risk of infection of the implant may increase. The present case was an 8-year-old male with a history of atopic dermatitis. He underwent thoracoscopic Nuss procedure. Although there was no problem during his hospitalization, the bar was exposed from the skin on the 58th postoperative day with the infection triggered, and the unexpected early bar removal was performed on the 66th postoperative day. We report this case with some literature review.
