目的总结38例小切口全胸骨切开心脏手术的经验。方法2004年6月-2005年12月，我们采用皮肤小切口，自剑突上缘1—2cm起，向上长7～10cm止于第3肋，全胸骨切开行择期心脏手术38例。结果38例手术均获成功。总手术时间175～359min，平均84min；引流量110～760ml，中位数380ml；术后住院7～32d，平均10d。术后早期并发症3例，其中1例心律失常，2例发热，均治愈；无开胸止血，切口感染等其他并发症，切口愈合良好。38例随访3—18个月，平均9个月，症状改善，左心室射血分数0．45-0．73，平均0．62。结论小切口全胸骨切开心脏手术安全，创伤小，无须特殊器械，操作简单，可获得良好的手术效果。

Full sternotomy through minimal incision for cardiac surgery: A report of 38 cases

Objective To summarize the clinical experience of 38 cases of cardiac surgery with full sternotomy through minimal skin incision.Methods A total of 38 cases of selective cardiac surgery were performed from June 2004 to December 2005.The operation was conducted under full sternotomy through a skin mini-incision.Results The operation was successfully completed in all the 38 cases.The total operation time was 175~359 min(mean,84 min),the drainage volume was 110~760 ml(median,380 ml),and the postoperatine hospital stay,7~32 d(mean,10 d).Postoperative short-term complications included 1 case of arrhythmia and 2 cases of pyrexia,all of which were cured.No thoracotomy for hemostasis was required.The incision healed by first intention without infection or separation.Follow-up examinations for 3~18 months(mean,9 months) in 38 cases showed significat improrement of symptoms.The left ventricular ejection fraction after operation was 0.45~0.73(mean,0.62).Conclusions Full sternotomy through minimal skin incision for cardiac surgery is safe and micro-traumatic.This procedure provides advantages of simplicity of performance,no need of special surgical instruments,and good cosmetic outcomes.
