Abstract

A 4-year-and-3-month-old boy with funnel chest underwent the Nuss procedure. He had an uneventful intraoperative and postoperative course, and was discharged on the tenth day of hospitalization. He developed chest pain while playing on the 29th day after surgery, and was diagnosed with right hemothorax. He was followed conservatively and the hemothorax disappeared.
