[Surgical treatment of funnel chest].
In 1976-1985, 39 patients were operated for the funnel chest. All patients were enrolled for the intensive rehabilitation program in the hospital, and correction exercises followed by swimming were recommended after release home. A favourable cosmetic effect was achieved in all patients in early postoperative period. However, a recurrence of the funnel chest has been noted in 10 patients (26%), later. Abnormality has been less advanced except 1 patient in whom subjective worsening has been noted.
