The desire to share our diverse Cerrahpaşa experience and experiences with congenital chest wall defects, which can occasionally become complex and be on families' agendas with their social and medical elements, inspired the creation of this book. We kept moving forward with the goal of becoming a thorough and intelligible resource and manual for medical professionals operating at various service levels, as well as a guidance for handling these challenging circumstances. We carefully reviewed the literature on congenital chest wall abnormalities while creating the book in an effort to identify best practices in this area. We finished the process, tried to give readers the most accurate and up-to-date information possible, and profited from the expertise of important experts. We shall be anxiously awaiting the readers' feelings and contentment.

The book's sections cover a wide range of topics, including surgical procedures, rehabilitation techniques, and the diagnosis and management of congenital chest wall abnormalities. By expanding our research in this area, we want to create novel treatment modalities and strategies in the future.

We are deeply grateful to all of our coworkers who contributed their time and expertise to the book's preparation without receiving payment, as well as to those who helped with the process.
