Less Invasive Management of Tissue Deficits for Deep Sternal Wound Infections
Background:. The frequency of sternomyelitis after cardiovascular surgery has been reported to be 0.4% -5%. Methods:. The treatment method used for 47 patients (29 male and 18 female) who developed sternomyelitis after sternotomy with tissue defects in the chest was examined retrospectively. Res...

The frequency of sternomyelitis after cardiovascular surgery has been reported to be 0.4% -5%. Methods:. The treatment method used for 47 patients (29 male and 18 female) who developed sternomyelitis after sternotomy with tissue defects in the chest was examined retrospectively. Results:. Of the original conditions, the most frequent was coronary artery disease undergoing bypass grafting (22 cases, 46.8%), followed by acute aortic dissection (10 cases, 21.3%). The number of times debridement was performed was: once, 35 cases; twice, 11 cases; 7 times, 1 case; and unknown, 2 cases. The most frequent time of occurrence of sternomyelitis was within 2 weeks after surgery (12 patients, 25.5%). A residual internal thoracic artery remained on both sides in 28 cases (59.6%), and only on the right side in 17 cases (36.2%); there was no remaining one in 2 cases (4.2%). The reconstruction method was a pectoralis major musculocutaneous flap in 31 cases (66.0%), internal mammary artery perforator flap in 7 cases (14.9%), rectus abdominis musculocutaneous flap in 4 cases (8.5%), omentum transplant in 3 cases (6.4%), superior epigastric artery perforator flap in 2 cases (4.3%), external abdominal oblique muscle flap in 1 case (2.1%), and latissimus dorsi musculocutaneous flap in 1 case (2.1%). The internal mammary artery perforator flap and the superior epigastric artery perforator flap have been effective treatment. Conclusions:. In 47 patients, our method of treatment for tissue defects of the chest wall after sternal osteomyelitis was examined, and an algorithm using less invasive management was proposed.http://journals.lww.com/prsgo/fulltext/10.1097/GOX.0000000000002776 |
