    J Clin Invest Surg. 2016; 1(1): 33-40 doi: 10.25083/2559.5555.11.3340 Technique Median sternotomy - gold standard incision for cardiac surgeons Radu Matache1,2, Mihai Dumitrescu2, Andrei Bobocea2, Ioan Cordoș1,2 1Carol Davila University, Department of Thoracic Surgery, Bucharest, Romania 2Marius Nasta Clinical Hospital, Department of Thoracic Surgery, Bucharest, Romania Abstract Sternotomy is the gold standard incision for cardiac surgeons but it is also used in thoracic surgery especially for mediastinal, tracheal and main stem bronchus surgery. The surgical technique is well established and identification of the correct anatomic landmarks, midline tissue preparation, osteotomy and bleeding control are important steps of the procedure. Correct sternal closure is vital for avoiding short- and long-term morbidity and mortality. The two sternal halves have to be well approximated to facilitate healing of the bone and to avoid instability, which is a risk factor for wound infection. New suture materials and techniques would be expected to be developed to further improve the patients evolution, in respect to both immediate postoperative period and long-term morbidity and mortality Keywords: median sternotomy, cardiac surgeons, thoracic surgery, technique Acne conglobata is a rare, severe form of acne vulgaris characterized by the presence of comedones, papules, pustules, nodules and sometimes hematic or meliceric crusts, located on the face, trunk, neck, arms and buttocks.Correspondence should be addressed to: Mihai Dumitrescu; e-mail: [email protected] Case Report We report the case of a 16 year old Caucasian female patient from the urban area who addressed our dermatology department for erythematous, edematous plaques covered by pustules and crusts, located on the Radu Matache et al.

(Assistant Surgeon, Brompton Hospital.) Primary neoplasms within the thorax fall into two main groups; those arising in the broncho-pulmonary system, which express themselves by the typical respira- tory symptoms of cough, sputum and haemoptysis; and mediastinal neoplasms, a heterogeneous group, which sooner or later draw attention to themselves by pressure on nerves or obstruction of veins, trachea or oesophagus. Broncho-Pulmonary Neoplasms. The growth usually starts in one of the larger bronchi. The outstanding symptoms are cough and hamoptysis and the physical signs are due to bronchial obstruction. Practically speaking, all this group are carcinomas, but recently bronchial adenomas have been recognized as a group which were previously often classified as malignant. Other innocent tumours such as fibromas, chondromas and papillomas have been reported. Bronchial Carcinomas are definitely on the increase; although some authorities still believe that this is only apparent owing to improved diagnostic methods, it by copyright. is difficult to maintain this view when the post-mortem records also indicate an increase. Our understanding of the gross pathology of these tumours is derived from the study of post-mortem material, when the condition has advanced to kill the patient; but by the use of X-rays, bronchoscopy, and exploratory thoracotomy, we are beginning to get a conception of the pathology in the living, which is an essential preliminary to treatment.

However, since the mass is not removed during the procedure, it may cause compression of vital structures such as major airways, the heart, the pulmonary artery, and the superior vena cava after surgery. We observed a case of a 66-year-old man with a mediastinal mass that caused severe airway obstruction during recovery from anesthesia following mediastinoscopic biopsy, probably caused by upper airway edema which seemed to originate from compression of the superior vena cava. Therefore, we suggest that unexpected airway obstruction in a patient with a mediastinal mass can be due to superior vena cava compression.

  • Arterial Switch Operation Surgery Surgical Solutions to Complex Problems
    Pediatric Cardiovascular Arterial Switch Operation Surgery Surgical Solutions to Complex Problems Tom R. Karl, MS, MD The arterial switch operation is appropriate treatment for most forms of transposition of Andrew Cochrane, FRACS the great arteries. In this review we analyze indications, techniques, and outcome for Christian P.R. Brizard, MD various subsets of patients with transposition of the great arteries, including those with an intact septum beyond 21 days of age, intramural coronary arteries, aortic arch ob- struction, the Taussig-Bing anomaly, discordant (corrected) transposition, transposition of the great arteries with left ventricular outflow tract obstruction, and univentricular hearts with transposition of the great arteries and subaortic stenosis. (Tex Heart Inst J 1997;24:322-33) T ransposition of the great arteries (TGA) is a prototypical lesion for pediat- ric cardiac surgeons, a lethal malformation that can often be converted (with a single operation) to a nearly normal heart. The arterial switch operation (ASO) has evolved to become the treatment of choice for most forms of TGA, and success with this operation has become a standard by which pediatric cardiac surgical units are judged. This is appropriate, because without expertise in neonatal anesthetic management, perfusion, intensive care, cardiology, and surgery, consistently good results are impossible to achieve. Surgical Anatomy of TGA In the broad sense, the term "TGA" describes any heart with a discordant ven- triculoatrial (VA) connection (aorta from right ventricle, pulmonary artery from left ventricle). The anatomic diagnosis is further defined by the intracardiac fea- tures. Most frequently, TGA is used to describe the solitus/concordant/discordant heart.

  • A Clinical Prediction Rule for Pulmonary Complications After Thoracic Surgery for Primary Lung Cancer
    A Clinical Prediction Rule for Pulmonary Complications After Thoracic Surgery for Primary Lung Cancer David Amar, MD,* Daisy Munoz, MD,* Weiji Shi, MS,† Hao Zhang, MD,* and Howard T. Thaler, PhD† BACKGROUND: There is controversy surrounding the value of the predicted postoperative diffusing capacity of lung for carbon monoxide (DLCOppo) in comparison to the forced expired volume in 1 s for prediction of pulmonary complications (PCs) after thoracic surgery. METHODS: Using a prospective database, we performed an analysis of 956 patients who had resection for lung cancer at a single institution. PC was defined as the occurrence of any of the following: atelectasis, pneumonia, pulmonary embolism, respiratory failure, and need for supplemental oxygen at hospital discharge. RESULTS: PCs occurred in 121 of 956 patients (12.7%). Preoperative chemotherapy (odds ratio 1.64, 95% confidence interval 1.06–2.55, P ϭ 0.02, point score 2) and a lower DLCOppo (odds ratio per each 5% decrement 1.13, 95% confidence interval 1.06–1.19, P Ͻ 0.0001, point score 1 per each 5% decrement of DLCOppo less than 100%) were independent risk factors for PCs. We defined 3 overall risk categories for PCs: low Յ10 points, 39 of 448 patients (9%); intermediate 11–13 points, 37 of 256 patients (14%); and high Ն14 points, 42 of 159 patients (26%). The median (range) length of hospital stay was significantly greater for patients who developed PCs than for those who did not: 12 (3–113) days vs 6 (2–39) days, P Ͻ 0.0001, respectively. Similarly, 30-day mortality was significantly more frequent for patients who developed PCs than for those who did not: 16 of 121 (13.2%) vs 6 of 835 (0.7%), P Ͻ 0.0001.
