The Authors who have operated on 120 cases of pectus excavatum, describe their own method of surgical correction. It consists of: -- Sternal mobilisation by sternotomies; -- Limited chondreal resections; -- Internal fixation. The Authors emphasize the interest of a good internal fixation which must allow normal breathing during the period of cartilage's strengthening. The use of long flexibles thread pins affords a good stability and flexibility and assures at long term good cosmetic results.
