Biomechanical Porcine Model of Median Sternotomy Closure

, 2002
Background. Healing complications following median sternotomy commonly include instability, nonunion, and infection. They are associated with a high mortality rate if mediastinitis supervenes. Closure complications are best avoided by improving stability

Mini-sternotomy for retrosternal thyroidectomy - how we do it and potential advantages for patients

, 2019
Introduction: Retrosternal thyroid goitre, particularly those extending to the aortic arch and into the posterior mediastinum, can sometimes be challenging to remove trans-cervically alone. Traditionally a multidisciplinary approach with cardiothoracics

Sternotomy Techniques

, 2018
If it be established that median thoracic incision is a fairly safe procedure, I have no doubt that it will constitute the most generally useful route to the thoracic organs. And if once a safe route is established a grate field for surgical interference lies open H. Milton (1897)

Pulmonary artery sarcoma resected via median sternotomy with thoracoscopic assistance

, 2017
Median sternotomy is frequently selected for the resection of pulmonary artery tumor, and pneumonectomy is performed for complete resection. However, it is difficult to see the inferior pulmonary vein and transect it safely via median sternotomy, so ...
