Abstract

<p> Sternal clefts (SC) are rare congenital malformations that result from failure of sternal bar infusion. When the cleft is complete, it is often associated with ectopia cordis and requires early correction due to its abnormal respiratory and circulatory dynamics. It also needs correction to protect the mediastinal organ and from an esthetic viewpoint. In infants, the sternum is pliable and easy to repair directly, but it becomes rigid as they grow. Therefore, selecting an appropriate method for correction in each case is important. We herein report two cases of SC that underwent correction with different surgical methods.</p>
