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.
对于大多数患者来说，漏斗胸并非生理问题，而是心理问题。只有5%的患者存在需要通过手术抬高漏斗的病理参数。然而，在这些相当复杂的手术后，只有60% - 80%的患者能获得良好的长期效果。所描述的RTV硅胶植入物是术前直接在漏斗中形成的，对于大多数漏斗胸患者而言，似乎是一种简单、安全且持久的替代方案。
