Question
I was born with something not very obvious, and the doctor said it was fine, so I never looked into it. I stumbled upon it online and would like to ask for your assistance in examining it.
Answer
Thoracoscope-assisted funnel chest correction surgery is a new treatment method that involves making a small 2cm incision on one side of the child’s chest below the axillary midline. A thoracoscope is used to isolate and guide the chest cavity, then a self-made correction device is inserted and flipped over to achieve the correction goal. The surgery has small incisions and a quick recovery, but there are still risks involved, including the risk of lung infection and intraoperative injury.
