It makes original focus as the impact of Pectus and Poland on breasts or the potential respiratory or cardiac disorders associated to the pathology. It also presents alternative surgeries such as remodelling techniques (Nuss or Ravitch), with the risks associated to these last ones.

This book demonstrates that in a majority of indications, the technique of custom made implants is the most suitable, providing high quality aesthetic results, while minimizing risks for the patient.
