Abstract:
Cardiovascular surgeons, generally have many strong preferences regarding basic surgical skills, such as thoracotomy, graft harvesting, or vascular anastomosis. However, those basic skills have not been discussed great detail. The aim of this study is to survey the methods of median sternotomy, targeting cardiovascular surgeons in Japan aged Under 40, and to share the results of those basic skills.
