Median sternotomy is sometimes complicated by a bifid xiphoid process and an incisional (ventral) hernia in the subxiphoid region. Such hernias often recur after primary suture repair. We recently initiated the use of a polypropylene prosthetic mesh to primarily repair subxiphoid incisional hernias. This report details the results of using this material in 14 patients between January 1980 and December 1983. We also discuss the complex anatomy of the xiphoid region.
正中胸骨切开术有时会因剑突分叉和剑突下区域的切口（腹侧）疝而变得复杂。这种疝在一期缝合修复后常复发。我们最近开始使用聚丙烯人工补片来一期修复剑突下切口疝。本报告详细介绍了1980年1月至1983年12月期间在14例患者中使用这种材料的结果。我们还讨论了剑突区域复杂的解剖结构。
