Summary

Comparison between interlocking multi-twisted wires and Eight figure of sternum closure post open heart surgery in egptian patients

Conditions

  • Sternotomy Closure,Open Heart Surgery

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Interlocking multi-twisted wires in sternal closure

One of many ways in cloure of sternal give more stabilization. At least 6 wires have to be passed. The wirs should run around the sternum in the intercostals spaces except in the manubrium where it has to be passed through the bone . Adjacent wires on the surgeon's side are wrapped around each other. The wires on the surgeon's side are then pulled towards the assistant so that the sternum is re-approximated. Alternatively the surgeon can also pull the wires at the assistant's side towards himself or herself approximating the sternum. Adjacent wires on the assistant's side are then wrapped around each other. The wrapped wires on both sides are then wrapped around each other The wrapped wires are then twisted around with a twister, closing the sternum tightly and the ends of the are burried

PROCEDURE

Eight Figure techniqe in sternal closure

The figure-eight closure is described as faster, simpler, and more reliable than its trans-sternal counterpart; with only oblique forces sutures are less likely to loosen or fracture the sternum. The advantage of figure-eight closure is that it allows oblique and horizontal angle of shearing forces instead of direct perpendicular forces. Thus these wires are less likely to loosen or fracture
