Omentum flap as a salvage procedure in deep sternal wound infection
INTRODUCTION Deep sternal wound infections (DSWIs) are rare but devastating complication after median sternotomy following cardiac surgery. Especially in the presence of artificial material or inadequate preliminary muscle flaps, the pedicled omentum flap is due to its immunological properties, the predetermined flap in salvage procedures. METHODS We treated 14 patients suffering a mediastini...

متن کاملTherapy options in deep sternal wound infection: Sternal plating versus muscle flap
BACKGROUND Management of deep sternal wound infection (DSWI) in cardiac surgical patients still remains challenging. A variety of treatment strategies has been described. Aim of this cohort study was to analyse two different treatment strategies for DSWI: titanium sternal plating system (TSFS) and muscle flap coverage (MFC). METHODS Between January 2007 and December 2011, from 3122 patients u...
متن کاملVancomycin Local application, role in Deep Sternal Wound Infection in our experience
Introduction: Deep sternal wound infection (DSWI) is one of the most complex and potentially devastating complications following median sternotomy in cardiac surgery. Despite many advances in prevention, it still remains significant and ranges between 0.5% and 6.8%. We aim to study the role of vancomycin paste applied locally over sternal edges in reducing DSWI.Materials and Methods...
متن کاملDelayed Presentation of Deep Sternal Wound Infection
Deep sternal wound infections (DSWI) are infections of the sternum, mediastinum, or the muscle, fascia and soft tissue that overlie the sternum, typically occurring within a month of cardiac surgery.
