ABSTRACT
Pectus deformities and Poland's syndrome are two relatively common congenital deformities of the chest wall that are amenable to reconstruction. The extent of the structural deformity in pectus deformity and the degree of associated cardiopulmonary dysfunction are critical variables in preoperative assessment. The operative approaches range from more extensive sternal eversion to the more popular subperichondrial cartilage resection with or without internal fixation. In Poland's syndrome, the options for reconstruction include anterior transfer of the ipsilateral latissimus dorsi muscle through a transaxillary tunnel and attachment to the clavicle and sternum. Submuscular insertion of a mammary prosthesis can be added in the female patient.
