Median sternotomy

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.

Curvilinear Paramedian Sternotomy

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1984
A 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.

Infected sternotomy wounds

European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 1990
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.

Median Sternotomy Dehiscence

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
