Abstract
Pectus excavatum affects about 1 in 500 people. Several surgical procedures have been proposed, including correction of the chest wall through a Nuss or modified Ravitch procedure. Further corrective revision operations remain challenging, and certainly potential life-threatening complications are described with less predictable outcomes. Secondary surgical procedures with a deep customized 3-dimensional elastomer implant are an elegant, effective, and safe solution compared with further corrective revision surgery.
