Abstract

A modified median sternotomy incision that results in a cosmetically appealing scar is described. It includes the use of a low-lying short skin incision and partial transection of the sternum. The outcome in 182 infants and children indicates that this approach is safe, provides adequate exposure, and has excellent cosmetic results.
