  • Title: [Surgical correction of chest wall abnormalities].
    Author: Blum U, Ungeheuer E, März E.
    Journal: Chirurg; 1982 Jul; 53(7):436-40. PubMed ID: 7117006.
    Abstract:
    Cosmetic aspects often are the indication for operation in funnel chest or pigeon breast. Cardial or respiratory symptoms are only noticed in a few patients. The operative procedure according to Brunner is technically a simple method with low risk, which reaches good cosmetic and long-term results (the recurrence rate is 16,6%). Because of the higher recidivation liability after surgery in early childhood, we recommend surgical correction of the chest wall deformities after the age of 12.
