Atrial septal defect (ASD) closure is usually performed in children via a conventional sternotomy. In striving to improve the cosmetic result, we have adopted a lower ministernotomy approach with a very small skin incision. We present a single surgeon experience of 110 consecutive patients undergoing surgical closure of ASD, comparing conventional (n=55) and mini-sternotomy (n=55) approaches. Our ministernotomy technique avoids direct superior vena cava cannulation, allowing for a smaller incision, while providing adequate exposure. The ministernotomy approach is safe and provides an excellent cosmetic result.
房间隔缺损(ASD)的闭合术通常通过传统的胸骨切开术在儿童中进行。为了改善美容效果,我们采用了低位小胸骨切开术,切口非常小。我们介绍了一位外科医生的经验,该经验涉及 110 例连续接受 ASD 手术闭合的患者,比较了传统方法(n=55)和小胸骨切开术(n=55)方法。我们的小胸骨切开术技术避免了直接上腔静脉插管,从而可以进行更小的切口,同时提供足够的暴露。小胸骨切开术方法是安全的,并可获得极佳的美容效果。
