In daily life, many people may not have heard of this disease, and the incidence of this disease is relatively high now. Next, I would like to share with you what department should be hung up after the emergence of pectus excavatum.

What department does funnel chest see

First of all, pectus excavatum is a disease of internal medicine, and pectus excavatum often oppresses people's internal organs, leading to people's dyspnea.

Secondly, pectus excavatum is more common in male than in female, the ratio of male to female is 4 ∶ 1, which belongs to sex linked dominant inheritance. This may be due to severe pectus excavatum and scoliosis compression of heart and lung, resulting in respiratory and circulatory failure, decreased vital capacity, increased functional residual capacity and decreased activity tolerance. Therefore, most of the severe patients died before 40 years old, while the mild patients over 40 years old rarely visited the hospital.

Finally, as long as there is a definite deformity, it should be operated on. Because of the false pectus excavatum before 3 years old, it is likely to correct itself. 3-10 years old is the most suitable age for pectus excavatum surgery. The younger the age is, the smaller the scope of surgery is, the better the curative effect is. The older children often need to remove the bony ribs and often need blood transfusion.
