Doc, i have a harrison groove (sulcus) . can i fix my harrison groove (sulcus) with a surgery? if it can,can my chest back to normal after surgery? thx doc.

Doctor can examine: Harrison groove sounds like old terminology, not used in modern medicine. That means nobody knows what a person is truly describing when he or she says Harrison groove. One's primary care doctor can examine to see what the patient is talking about, and can use modern terms to describe the findings. The chestwall or ribcage is not perfectly symmetric, and most minor asymmetries are called normal.
