Abstrakt: A prophylactic trend was developed in surgical treatment of funnel chest on basis of a syndromal approach to solution of applied problems of clinical medicine. Patients with an established diagnosis of progressive funnel deformity underwent early prophylactic sparing one-stage thoracoplasty according to the authors' own method, which made it possible to prevent progress of the deformity in the early stage; such treatment had a positive effect on further physical and mental development of the child. Besides, the method of operation had a lesser injurious effect and reduced the number of complications; it also considerably reduced the expenditures and shortened the period of treatment.
