Subcutaneous Silicone Implants in Pectus Excavatum

Pages 173-176 | Accepted 15 Sep 1987, Published online: 08 Jul 2009
 

Abstract

In seventeen patients presenting funnel chest a subcutaneous implantation of silicone prostheses was performed. In nine patients seromas were aspirated postoperatively. Five patients were reoperated, one for correction of a displacement of the prosthesis, one for size reduction and one for implant removal, because of various complaints not related to the prosthesis. At the final evaluation sixteen out of seventeen patients expressed satisfaction with the result.
