About this book
These congenital deformities, funnel or keel chest deformities, as well as Poland syndromes, affect a small group of patients who suffer from aesthetic rather than functional impairment. The wide variety of diagnoses and recommended therapies, mostly surgical procedures, can be very confusing for patients, their parents, physicians and surgeons. In recent years several techniques have been refined and developed to deal with these complex problems, and surgeons with different specialties have been operating on these deformities, mostly as lonely experts in their respective fields.
This book should not be seen as an operation atlas but more as a compact survey of a small group of medical conditions and the need for flexible options for an individual therapeutic approach, based on the combined experience of different international specialists. Thus the book is designed for obstetricians, pediatricians, physicians and surgical specialists alike.
Reviews
From the reviews:
“The book is an excellent source of the huge variety of available surgical and nonsurgical options and what might be expected from each. … It will appeal to … audience who share the fascination with pectus deformities and struggle with their correction. This would include primarily pediatric surgeons, fellows training in that area, and some plastic surgeons. … This is large, thorough, inclusive, well-illustrated book … .” (Robert M. Arensman, Doody’s Review Service, July, 2012)
