| Popis: |
Three patients underwent pedicle transposition of the greater omentum for sternal osteomyelitis and mediastinitis after cardiac operation. These patients were previously operated on with coronary artery bypass grafting, aortic valve replacement and redo Fontan operation in each. This procedure was carried out on 4, 6, 8, and 14th postoperative day. The complications cured within about one month after the procedure in all cases. It is suggested that this maneuver is effective for obtaining healing osteomyelitis and mediastinitis following cardiac operation. |
