Abstract
A technique for correction of funnel chest, a condition found in 91% of chest deformities, has been successfully used in 1141 patients. Among these were 38 females, 4 of whom had mamma-augmentation-plasty performed at the time of removal of the metal strut used in repair of the funnel chest. Great care is needed in selecting patients for the repair of funnel chest and in avoiding postoperative complications.
