Submammary median sternotomy.

The Journal of cardiovascular surgery, 1990
A vertical skin incision is used as routine approach for sternotomy. The resulting scar is often disappointing and the top is visible and unpleasant, especially for young women. In 35 women ranging from 10 to 48 years (mean 29.2 years), median sternotomy was performed via a submammary skin incision.

Conventional Techniques: Median Sternotomy

2008
