Among the congenital anomalies of the anterior chest wall, the group of the asymmetrical deformities, mixed or complex, are the least frequent and the ones that require a difference surgical strategy for each patient according to their anatomical features. In this paper we present our experience and findings with this type of malformation. The fundamental aspects of the surgical indications and procedure are commented. The evolution and the results are very satisfactory. We stress the positive reaction of the patients and their families after the operation.
