Abstract

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.

摘要

心脏直视手术的常规技术会留下一条垂直的胸骨正中皮肤疤痕。尤其是对女性来说，这相当令人尴尬，因为它看起来很难看。本文描述了采用乳房下水平皮肤切口进入心脏的方法。尽管获得通常的胸骨正中暴露需要一些额外的时间，但长期结果显示了这种方法的价值及其对患者的益处。手术技术简单，从长远来看，伤口愈合不受影响。
