Can surgery be performed? Child Pectus Excavatum

Doctor's answer:

Hello, surgery should be performed if there is a clear deformity. Since pseudofunnel chest before the age of 3 is likely to correct itself, the surgery for funnel chest is most suitable between the ages of 3 and 10. The younger the age, the smaller the surgical scope, and the better the effect.
