Abstract

Poststernotomy mediastinitis is a highly dangerous complication following median sternotomy. Such wounds are debrided aggressively of necrotic and foreign materials with subsequent flap reconstruction. The patient, diagnosed with sternal defect which was infected, was examined with exposed bone and wires and not healing for five months. Operative debridement of infected bone and soft tissue was performed, including removal of sternal wires and other foreign bodies and then definitive coverage of the defect was made by bilateral pectoralis major muscle flaps. There were no complications in postoperative one year follow-up period and the patient has been leading normal social life while not having any respiratory problems except severe exercise. Using bilateral pectoral flaps for reconstruction of dead-spaces following debridement for patients having wide sternal defects is an appropriate and effective method.

Özet

Median sternotomi sonrası gelişen mediastinit, oldukça tehlikeli bir komplikasyondur. Bu tür yaralarda nekrotik dokuların debridmanı ve yabancı cisimlerin uzaklaştırılması sonrası uygun fleplerle rekonstrüksiyon gerekmektedir. Koroner bypass sonrası 5 aydır iyileşmeyen, enfekte, kemik ve tellerin açıkta olduğu sternum defekti ile başvuran hastaya debridman, enfekte ve nekrotik kemiklerin ve tellerin çıkarılması sonrası bilateral pektoral fleple onarım uygulandı. Hastanın defektinin sorunsuz iyileştiği gözlendi. Bir yıldır takip edilen hasta normal sosyal yaşantısını sürdürmekte ve ağır egzersizler dışında solunum sıkıntısı yaşamamaktadır. Geniş, enfekte sternum defekti olan hastalarda debridman sonrası ölü boşluğu da kapatacak şekilde bilateral pektoral fleple rekonstrüksiyon uygun, kolay uygulanabilir, etkili bir yöntemdir.
