A turnover operation for pectus excavatum at the time of correction of intracardiac defects.
Two patients are presented who had open intracardiac procedures with simultaneous repair of pectus excavatum by sternal eversion or turnover. This method offered excellent exposure, relieved cardiac compression, maintained chest wall stability, and improved the appearance of the chest wall.
