Minimally invasive thoracoscopic repair of unilateral pectus carinatum.
Thoracoscopic repair of pectus excavatum as described by Nuss has become a well established method of repair. However, minimally invasive intrathoracic repair of pectus carinatum has not been reported in literature. We report a case of successful thoracoscopic repair of unilateral pectus carinatum.
