Median Sternotomy for Lung Transplantation [PDF]

Operative Techniques in Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2015
A range of incisional techniques are available to lung transplant surgeons. Since the early 1990s, the standard for those undertaking bilateral lung transplant surgeries, particularly for septic disease, has been the clamshell incision or its anterior thoracotomy variants. There are potential problems of either incisional instability or reduced access.
