- W1977589693 abstract "Sternal osteitis after median sternotomy is associated with considerable morbidity and mortality. The use of muscle and omentum flaps has been proved as valid adjunct to combat these severe infections. In this study we present our experience with a more radical approach.Sternectomy consisted of the resection of the entire sternum, including the costochondral arches and the sternoclavicular joints, and was followed by the repair of the defect with musculocutaneous flaps without any restabilization of the thoracic wall. Thirteen patients received a vertical rectus abdominis musculocutaneous flap, 14 patients received a pedicled latissimus dorsi musculocutaneous flap, and 12 patients received a free latissimus dorsi musculocutaneous flap (total of 40 flaps in 39 patients of 66 patients who required surgical revision for sternal osteitis of 6078 total patients with sternotomies).Two patients died within 30 days after the operation (early mortality of 5.1%); however, they did not die of sternal infection, which was cured without any recurrence in all cases. Seventeen patients (44%) required secondary, mostly minor operations for local complications. Despite some paradoxic chest movements, the patient satisfaction rating was unanimously high at the long-term follow-up (0.4 to 8.5 years, median 2.3 years). The short- and long-term complication rates were similar in the three groups.We conclude that radical sternectomy and immediate musculocutaneous flap repair provided definitive control of sternal infection in even the most severe cases, thus reducing infection-related mortality. The trade-off was a substantial rate of local complications; however, these did not cause any relevant morbidity." @default.
