[Radical surgical techniques for pectus excavatum].
Conservative techniques with insertion of a subcutaneous implant have the advantage of being simple to perform but the frequent disadvantage of a poor result. The authors present two more radical techniques used in chest surgery: modelling osteochondroplasty and resection of the deformed sternocostal plate and replacement by a prosthesis. The indications are described together with the very satisfactory results with no major complications obtained in a series of 13 cases.
