A surgical technique which is a modification of the technique described by Ravitch is presented in detail. We employed it in 441 patients, among them 85% with funnel chest, 11% with pigeon breast and 4% with combined funnel-pigeon breast. The pre- and postoperative measurement of the chest deformity which provides an objective evaluation of the surgical result is described. The postoperative results were in 91% satisfactory and in only 9% unsatisfactory. No postoperative death was observed in the last 420 patients. The overall mortality in the world literature is 0,05%.
本文详细介绍了一种对拉维奇所描述技术进行改良的手术技术。我们将其应用于441例患者，其中85%为漏斗胸，11%为鸡胸，4%为漏斗胸合并鸡胸。文中描述了对胸部畸形进行术前和术后测量，这能对手术效果进行客观评估。术后结果91%令人满意，仅9%不满意。在最后420例患者中未观察到术后死亡。世界文献报道的总体死亡率为0.05%。
