title: [Experiences with funnel and pigeon chest correction with the modified Ravitch method].
abstract: We present 843 operations of chest wall deformities performed from 1971 to 1991 using the modified technique of Ravitch. We discuss the indication for operation, the perioperative management, and the early and late complications. In 54% we found a good result, and in up to 91% an acceptable one. In 9%, the result was poor. Furthermore we report our interview of 184 patients about their opinion on the perioperative situation and the result.
