Patient's question:
Currently four years old, since more than one year old, it has been found that the chest is funnel-shapedDoctor's answer:
Hello! Surgery should be performed if there is a clear deformity. Since pseudofunnel chest before the age of 2 is likely to correct itself, the ideal age for funnel chest surgery is between 3 and 10 years. The younger the child, the smaller the surgical scope and the better the outcome. For older children, surgery often requires the removal of bony ribs, and blood transfusions are frequently needed. Children's bodies have weaker resistance, so it is easy to develop funnel chest in children. For parents, do not be anxious and should take the child to a regular hospital for examination and treatment in time. Also pay attention to regular check-ups for the child, and use medication reasonably under the guidance of a doctor.
