Patient's question:
Newborn's breathing sounds a bit like snoringDoctor'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 patient, the smaller the surgical scope and the better the outcome. However, for older children, the surgery often requires the removal of bony ribs, and blood transfusions are frequently needed during the procedure.
