Abstract
The pectus excavatum affects about one in 500 people. It is the most common malformation of the thorax. Several surgical or medical techniques have been proposed. Some are followed by complications or insufficient results. Secondary surgery with a deep customized 3D implant, may be an elegant and effective solution; it allows to obtain a good aesthetic result expected by patients in the absence of any respiratory or cardiovascular functional context.
