We have refined the Ravitch technique of sternal elevation for surgical correction of funnel chest. Our major modification is introducing a living rib strut for supporting the elevated sternum. The left 5th rib with a vascular pedicle from the internal thoracic artery is turned 180 degrees beneath the sternum. We have used this method in 10 cases. The results have all been satisfactory.
我们改进了用于漏斗胸手术矫正的Ravitch胸骨抬高技术。我们的主要改进是引入了一根带蒂肋骨支撑物来支撑抬高后的胸骨。将带有胸廓内动脉血管蒂的左第5肋骨在胸骨下方旋转180度。我们已将此方法应用于10例患者。结果均令人满意。
