Patient's question:
Currently four years old, since more than one year old, it has been found that the chest is funnel-shaped.Doctor'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, bone ribs often need to be removed during surgery, and blood transfusions are frequently required.
