    This study reviewed 34 patients with funnel chest after 18 years, finding no significant changes in cardiorespiratory function post-operation. Results guide future operative treatment for pectus excavatum, considering functional and cosmetic outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiothoracic Surgery
    • Pediatric Surgery
    • Thoracic Medicine

    Context:

    • Funnel chest (pectus excavatum) is a congenital chest wall deformity.
    • Surgical intervention is a common treatment for pectus excavatum.
    • Long-term outcomes of surgical correction require further investigation.

    Purpose:

    • To review long-term outcomes of surgical correction for funnel chest.
    • To assess changes in cardiorespiratory function after operative treatment.
    • To discuss indications for surgery based on functional and cosmetic results.

    Summary:

    • A review of 34 patients with funnel chest (pectus excavatum) after an average 18-year follow-up.
    • Preoperative cardiorespiratory disturbances were noted in 30% of patients.
