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.

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

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,

Reversed C Sternotomy versus Conventional Sternotomy in Cardiac Surgery
The Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgeon, 2013In 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 ...

Recurrent post-sternotomy mediastinitis
Journal of Infection, 2006The use of muscle flaps or omentum flap combined with an appropriate anti-microbial regimen is the treatment of choice for patients with recurrent mediastinitis. Flap closure obliterates the large mediastinal wounds and prevents spreading of the infection to the aorta, heart, including the vascular coronary artery grafts, and other prosthetic materials.

Background: Chronic postoperative pain is a well‐recognised problem. The incidence of severe incapacitating pain is about 3–5% after various types of surgery such as thoracotomy, repair of inguinal hernias and mastectomy. Sternotomy causes considerable postoperative pain and patients with chronic post‐sternotomy pain are often referred to pain clinics.

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.

Hepatic Herniation After Sternotomy
Cirugía Española (English Edition), 2014The patient is a 90-year-old woman with a history of hypertension, AFib and sternotomy for a valve substitution in 2008. She reported a subxiphoid mass ever since the sternotomy, which it was decided not to treat because of the age of the patient. She consulted due to vomiting and epigastric pain, and upon examination a subxiphoid incisional hernia was
