A case of a 6-year old child surgically intervened before in the left hemithorax for pectus excavatum in whom a correction was performed using the modified Nuss tenchique without using a thoracoscope is reported. No complications were observed during and after the procedure. The follow-up at 6-months showed favourable clinical, anatomic and functional status.
