Abstract

Pectus excavatum is the most common thoracic deformity, and there are many surgical methods used in clinic. Almost all the previous operations were limited to one kind of procedure. The completion of the operation will directly affect the effect of the treatment of pectus excavatum. After long-term clinical practice, we found that pectus excavatum can be treated with multiple methods at the same time. The use of these methods can completely correct the deformity and achieve the most satisfactory results. Thus, we have a new understanding of the treatment of this deformity. The treatment level of pectus excavatum itself is not the same as the level of mastering a certain surgical method. The highest level of pectus excavatum surgery is to make the most perfect treatment for this deformity, and it is absolutely not to skillfully complete a certain operation.
