Maintaining the same position the anteriorincision is made downward and forward through all structures entering the thorax from theneck. The right apical lobe of the lung is released and the inferior incision made through theinferior mediastinum close to the sternum from before to behind. taken out or estimated, allow the hearj; to drop back into itsproper position.
