The article presents results of resection of costal humpback in 102 patients with scoliosis. Subperiosteal resection of the costal humpback without a fixation of the spine gave insufficient results, while resection of the humpback with a fixation of the spine with the Harrington distractor gave satisfactory results. Methods of decompressive thoracoplasty of the concave side of the chest in scoliosis were developed and used in 22 operations. Satisfactory cosmetic and functional results were obtained. No progress of scoliosis was noted. Within a year the lung volume became 2,8% greater as compared with the initial parameters.
