Sternal dehiscence: "delayed primary closure" for complicated cases.

A Taira, I Yara, M Yamashita, H Akita.   

Abstract

"Delayed primary closure" of the wound in cases of sternal dehiscence is reported. This technique includes a thorough debridement, continuous antibiotic lavage, and air tight force suction of the debrided space, using a portable wound suction unit. Healing process of the complicated sternal dehiscence is thus facilitated. A discussion is made of reasons for failure and missed chances in "early primary closure" of the sternal dehiscence.
