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.
