During repair of pectus excavatum by the modified Ravitch procedure, the major pectoral muscles are detached from their sternal insertion to obtain adequate surgical exposure. Following repair, the muscles are approximated in midline and reinserted through scarring. Dehiscence of the major pectoral muscles after the modified Ravitch procedure is a rare phenomenon, not previously reported in literature. We report on 2 cases and describe an effective treatment method using sternal suture anchors with good long-term results.
