Abstract

A 7-year-old female was admitted to our hospital for the treatment of funnel chest. We performed an operation using Nuss procedure, not conventional procedure. Good cosmetic result was obtained because chest wall deformity was corrected properly with this procedure and surgical wound was small and not worrisome. She discharged at 10th day after the operation. Nuss procedure may be good treatment for funnel chest.
