Abstract
The management of superficial sternal wound infections is not well-codified. In case of large necrosis or tissue defect we use a two-stage approach, consisting of a first surgical debridement, followed a few days later by wound closure by means of two lateral advancement flaps. We have used this technique with good cosmetic results and shorter hospital stays.
