Popis: Based on the survey of 104 patients, a method has been developed for early diagnosis of progression of infundibuliform chest deformity (ICD), which defines indications for thoracoplasty in children over 2 years. A differential approach has been applied to the stabilization of the sternocostal complex, taking into account various ICD types. Experience in surgical management of 247 patients with simple and complex ICD types has been generalized. A procedure has been improved to stabilize the sternocostal complex with a metallic plate in critical ICD types. The sparing thoracoplasty variants have been developed for simple ICD types and Degree I progressive ICD ones, stabilizing the sternocostal complex with a niticolic brace and a CPK-22 apparatus in the modified resistant case.
