There are only sparse data concerning postoperative chest X-rays in thoracic surgery patients. In a study on children and young adults undergoing a Nuss procedure routine radiological examination was substituted by clinical indication resulting in a lower rate of thoracic drain placement. A chest X-ray to document the location of the metal bar prio...
