Successful Sternal Cleft Repair With Rib Graft and SurgiMend.
Early in development, driven by mostly unknown factors, a malformed sternum can manifest as a cleft. This is not innocuous, as surgical repair is required to mitigate the deleterious effects of unprotected thoracic organs, impaired respiratory function, and susceptibility to chest infections. We aimed to enrich the literature on this topic by presenting the case of a 10-month-old boy diagnosed with a sternal cleft who underwent reconstruction using a rib cartilage bridging graft supported with fascia and acellular dermal matrix. Management outcomes are expected to improve as surgical approaches evolve from simple primary sternal closure to using cartilaginous or bony grafts and leveraging adjacent soft tissue for added coverage.
期刊介绍:
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery—Global Open is an open access, peer reviewed, international journal focusing on global plastic and reconstructive surgery.Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery—Global Open publishes on all areas of plastic and reconstructive surgery, including basic science/experimental studies pertinent to the field and also clinical articles on such topics as: breast reconstruction, head and neck surgery, pediatric and craniofacial surgery, hand and microsurgery, wound healing, and cosmetic and aesthetic surgery. Clinical studies, experimental articles, ideas and innovations, and techniques and case reports are all welcome article types. Manuscript submission is open to all surgeons, researchers, and other health care providers world-wide who wish to communicate their research results on topics related to plastic and reconstructive surgery. Furthermore, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery—Global Open, a complimentary journal to Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, provides an open access venue for the publication of those research studies sponsored by private and public funding agencies that require open access publication of study results. Its mission is to disseminate high quality, peer reviewed research in plastic and reconstructive surgery to the widest possible global audience, through an open access platform. As an open access journal, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery—Global Open offers its content for free to any viewer. Authors of articles retain their copyright to the materials published. Additionally, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery—Global Open provides rapid review and publication of accepted papers.
