Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Usual techniques in open-heart operations leave a vertical median skin scar. Especially for women this is rather embarassing since it looks ugly. The use of horizontal submammary skin incision for access to the heart is described here. Although obtaining the usual midsternal exposure takes some extra time, long-term results have shown the value of this approach and its benefit to the patient. The surgical technique is simple, and wound healing, in the long run, is unimpaired. |
