In this insightful recap from the 12th Annual Update Course in Pediatric Surgery, Dr. Thomas Inge of Lurie Children’s Hospital explores emerging uses of cryoanalgesia beyond pectus repair. The video delves into novel applications of cryotherapy for conditions like slipping rib syndrome and rib fractures—highlighting how interventional radiology tools, including percutaneous needle probes, can offer powerful pain relief and reduce narcotic use and hospital stay.

Key Highlights:

  • Slipping Rib Syndrome: Often overlooked in teens, this condition can be addressed with intercostal blocks and cryoablation.
  • Percutaneous Cryoablation: A new frontier in treating rib fractures and chronic pain using ultrasound-guided techniques.
  • Multidisciplinary Approach: Collaboration between surgery and IR expands treatment options for hard-to-diagnose chest wall pain.

This session emphasizes the evolving role of cryoanalgesia as a versatile, minimally invasive tool in pediatric surgical care.
