[Treatment of funnel chest with RTV-silicone implants].
The funnel chest is no physiological but a psychological problem for the majority of patients. Only 5% suffer from pathological parameters which require a surgical elevation of the funnel. After these rather complicated operations, however, only 60-80% are followed by good long-term results. The described RTV-silicone implant is formed preoperatively directly in the funnel and appears to be a simple safe and lasting alternative for most patients with a funnel chest.
