Abstract

In mediastinitis cases unresponsive to conventional management, bilateral pectoralis major (BPM) flap advancement can be inadequate for the sternal wound closure. In this study, triple flap closure technique was presented for the treatment of a deep and wide mediastinitis developed after coronary bypass in a case with hypertension and diabetus mellitus. Rectus abdominis muscle (RAM) transfer was successfully used beneath BPM musculocutaneous advancement flaps, in order to cover deep and inferior parts of the wound. In conclusion, in serious wounds, additional flap transfers can be frequently required and a RAM flap transfer is a good option for this purpose with its relatively simple surgical technique, close anatomical location and well-vascularised adequate bulk.

Özet

Konvansiyonel yöntemlerle kapatılamayan mediastinit olgularında bilateral pektoralis major (BPM) ilerletme metodu sternal yaranın özellikle taban ve inferior kısmını örtmede yetersiz kalabilmektedir. Bu çalışmada hipertansiyon ve diyabet öyküsü olan bir hastada koroner bypass sonrası gelişen derin ve geniş mediastinitin tedavisinde üçlü flep tekniği sunulmuştur. Onarımda BPM kas-deri flebi ilerletilmesi ve altta ikinci bir kat olarak rektus abdominis (RA) kas transferi aynı seansta başarı ile uygulanmıştır. Sonuç olarak, sternal yaranın çok ciddi olduğu durumlarda kapatımda ek transferler sıklıkla gerekmektedir. Tercihen kullanılmayan internal mammaryan arter tarafında kaldırılan superior pediküllü RA kas flebi bölgesel yakınlığı, cerrahi teknik kolaylığı ve yeterli doku hacmi ile bu transferler arasında uygun bir seçenektir.
