Abstract:
Sternotomy is the most common surgical approach for cardiac surgery. Incidence of postoperative sternal diastasis and wound suppuration ranges from 0.11 to 10%. We present a variant of one-stage surgical treatment of patients with these postoperative complications. Surgical tactics and features of postoperative period are described in detail. Pathogenetic approach to the treatment is substantiated. This approach can be used in patients with aseptic diastasis of the sternum and sternomediastinitis.
