ABSTRACT
Through 97 patients over 9 years, the authors present a surgical treatment for "funnel chest" using custom-made silicone elastomer prothesis which are deeply placed, behind muscle and aponevroses. They justify the choice of this simple and non invasive technique, by the fact that this deformation is only morphological in most cases or even only inaesthetic with exceptional cardiac or pulmonary consequences. Patient's motivation being mainly due to psychological disconfort, the non invasive aspect of the technique leads them to choose surgery, particularly as results are good and complications seldom.
