[Funnel chest. Generalities, Surgical treament].

The Pectus excavatum (P.E.) or funnel shaped thorax is a relatively frequent malformation of the chest wall. After a survey of references, the authors recall the main elements of an affection with functional results sometimes important. The results of surgical treatment are analized in relation with the kind of intervention and the age of the patients. Modelling sternochondroplasty with temporary retrosternal support for the deep funnels, the subcutaneous filling of the deformity in slight P.E. should at present be recommended. Definitive results can only be appreciated after 3 to 5 years.
