Median sternotomy.

Surgery, gynecology & obstetrics, 1993
Although median sternotomy was succinctly described in 1897, "Milton's procedure" was essentially unused until it was recommended in 1957. With the advent of coronary bypass operation in 1968, median sternotomy became one of the most commonly performed surgical procedures.

Major complications of median sternotomy

The American Journal of Surgery, 1975
Major sternal infections developed in eleven of 1,550 patients undergoing median sternotomy for operations on the heart. Nine patients had myocardial revascularization, six with internal mammary artery as the conduit. Seven of these patients have been salvaged by aggressive local wound management and systemic support.

Median Sternotomy

The Journal of Trauma: Injury, Infection, and Critical Care, 1980
A 21-year-old man sustained lacerations of spleen, liver, and right hemidiaphragm from blunt trauma. Exposure and repair of the liver and right hemidiaphragm were facilitated by sternal extension of a midline abdominal incision. This operative plan is recommended in severe torso trauma with suspicion of hepatic and/or diaphragmatic injury.

Thoracic Traction for Median Sternotomy Dehiscence

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1978
Standard management of median sternotomy dehiscence sometimes fails to achieve lasting reduction and fixation of the sternal halves. An effective method of external thoracic traction that augments internal fixation of the sternal fracture is presented.

Management of recalcitrant median sternotomy wounds

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 1985
During a 7 year period, 38 consecutive patients (31 male and seven female) had repair of an infected sternotomy wound. Their mean age was 56 years (range 13 to 78 years). Sternotomy was performed for cardiac disease in 34 patients. Staphylococcus aureus was the most commonly cultured organism.
