Abstract:
Deep sternal wound infections (DSWIs) are serious postoperative complications of sternotomy and have a great impact on the postoperative rehabilitation and life safety of patients. At present, DSWIs is mainly treated by infection control, thorough debridement and reconstruction of chest wall. Reconstruction of chest wall includes reconstruction of bony structures and soft tissues of the chest wall, among which the various muscle flaps available for soft tissue reconstruction have different characteristics and application indications. Therefore, individualized treatment plans for chest wall reconstruction should be made according to the specific situation of patients. In this article, the current chest wall reconstruction protocols and the progress of clinical research for DSWIs were reviewed, with a view to providing assistance in clinical treatment and follow-up studies.
