Multimedia Manual of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 2015
Sternotomy is considered to be the gold standard incision in cardiac surgery, resulting in low failure rates and excellent proven long-term outcomes. It can also be used in thoracic surgery for mediastinal, bilateral pulmonary or lower trachea and main stem bronchus surgery.

Reversed C Sternotomy versus Conventional Sternotomy in Cardiac Surgery [PDF]
The Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgeon, 2013 In this study, cardiac surgery with minimally invasive reversed C sternotomy was compared with conventional sternotomy in patients undergoing valve replacement or septal defect repair.In this prospective randomized study, 35 patients were assigned into one of two groups for elective cardiac surgery under general anesthesia: Group A (reversed C ...

Key Points Short‐ and long‐term outcomes of alcohol septal ablation are comparable to surgical myectomy With growing evidence, myectomy should not be considered as the frontline therapy Unless a prospective randomized study is conducted, debate over preferred approach (surgical vs. ASA) will continue

The presence of a beard or lower facial hair can pose a problem during skin preparation, cervical venous line insertion and draping of a patient for a sternotomy. We demonstrate how this can be dealt within a simple and economic fashion.

Median Sternotomy Dehiscence [PDF]
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1978 Sternal dehiscence requiring reoperation occurred in 36 out of 4,531 patients who had a sternotomy incison within an eight-year period. Twisted sternal wire sutures were used for the first four years and a crimped steel plate fixation was used during the second four years with a marked and significant decrease in the incidence of dehiscence from 17 out

Reoperative median sternotomy [PDF]
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1989 Sternal reentry for reoperative cardiac procedures poses a substantial risk of technical problems. A simple technique for sternal reentry is described that is both expeditious and safe.

Curvilinear Paramedian Sternotomy
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1984A modification of the classic straight midline sternotomy incision is described. The technique involves performing the sternotomy in a curvilinear manner along both sides of the midline to create two sternal halves that interdigitate with one another. With such a configuration, malalignment is virtually impossible.

Three babies who developed infection in their median sternotomy wounds are reported. In one child, a retrosternal abscess was drained and in the other two cases, the wounds dehisced. The wound cavities were filled with a rectus abdominis myocutaneous island flap and in each case, the wounds healed primarily.

Hydrodissection in Redo Sternotomies
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2005Injection of pressurized normal saline into the retrosternal tissue has been used in redo sternotomies. This technique has been labeled as hydrodissection. It is a simple but effective technique to help minimize the trauma and risk of complications in redo sternotomies.

Chronic Osteomyelitis after Sternotomy
Acta Chirurgica Belgica, 2001Two patients with chronic sternal osteomyelitis after an initially uncomplicated coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) operation are described. Chronic osteomyelitis, caused in both cases by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, occurred six and four months after CABG respectively. Because chronic infection failed to respond to local wound care and medical therapy,
