This is the main incision 13 months after endoscopic MV repair via right side minithoracotomy. It is about 2.5 inches.

Dr. Mehall also made another incision to insert the endoscope, but that one is way too small to visualize on a photo since I can't even identify anymore.

Under the t-shirt there is another very tiny incision where the endoscope was inserted. Surgeon was John Mehall MD.

Congratulations on making the top spot on the Surgical Heap! And enjoy that outdoor time... I was so happy to be out in the sun , sitting in my driveway, when I came home...Best wishes for a smooth surgery and recovery!
