Infected sternotomy wounds

DT Gault, C Huddleston and BM Jones
Department of Plastic Surgery, Hospital for Sick Children, London, UK.

Three babies who developed infection in their median sternotomy wounds are reported. In one child, a retrosternal abscess was drained and in the other two cases, the wounds dehisced. The wound cavities were filled with a rectus abdominis myocutaneous island flap and in each case, the wounds healed primarily. Early flap repair resolved the infection, shortened the hospital stay and provided protection to the exposed mediastinum.
