“…NPWT is a potent tool for wound bed infection control; nevertheless, sternotomy wound reconstruction is another inevitable step towards DSWI healing. Today, the reconstruction is focused on achievement of chest wall stability because it augments soft tissue healing, usage of local muscle flap advancement, and supports function of the auxiliary respiratory muscles 47,65,66 . Recent studies pointed out better quality of life in such patients in comparison to patients whose residual defect was only covered by a muscle flap, however, survival benefit has not yet been proven [67][68][69] .…”

“…Transsternal or parasternal cerclage insertion and potentially parasternal binding (Robicsek and his modification) require preservation of major portions of sternal lamellae 70 . Furthermore, it is necessary to loosen granulation tissue adhesions in between sternal lamellae and anterior mediastinum, bearing certain risk of bypass graft or heart damage 47,66 . In the last ten years, efforts to lower this risk led to preferential use of plate osteosynthesis and parasternal fixation-enabling systems 66 .…”
