Abstract

We report here 2 cases of deep-seated mediastinitis combined with sternal osteomyelitis after tracheal reconstruction which were successfully treated with sternectomy, in-situ or free omental transfer, and pectoralis major myocutaneous flap. In case I, an 8 year-old boy with deep seated mediastinitis and sternal osteomyelitis that developed after anterior tracheoplasty through a standard midline sternotomy. In case II, a 50 year-old female patient with mediastinal abcess and sternal osteomyelitis that developed after resection and end-to-end anastomosis of the trachea through an upper midline sternotomy. Treatments consisted of drainage and irrigation followed by wide resection of the infected sternum, placement of the viable omentum into the anterior mediastinal space, and chest wall reconstruction with a pectoralis major myocutaneous flap. The omentum was transferred as an in-situ pedicled graft in case I and a free graft in case II. Both patients have recovered smoothly wit out any events and have been doing well postoperatively.

기관재건술 후 발생한 심부 종격염 2례에 대해 흉골절제, 대위망 자유이식 혹은 전치술, 근피성형술을 병행하여 좋은 결과를 얻었기에 보고한다. 증례 I은 8세된 남아에서 흉골 정중절개로 전방기관성형술을 실시한 후 심부 종격염과 흉골 골수염이 발생한 경우였으며, 증례 II는 50세된 여자에서 상부 흉골의 부분 정중절개로 기관절제 및 단단문합을 실시한 후 종격농양과 흉골 골수염이 발생한 경우였다. 치료는 두례 모두 배농을 시키고 일정기간 세척한 다음, 골수염이 생긴 흉골을 광범위 절제하고 대위망으로 종격을 덮은 후 양측 대흉근을 피부와 함께 박리하여 전흉벽을 재건하였다. 이때 증례 I의 경우는 대위망을 분리한 뒤 횡격막을 통해 종격부위에 위치시켰으며 (in-situ pedicled grafting), 증례 II의 경우는 대위망을 자유이식편으로 만들어 우횡경동맥과 외경정맥에 연결한 후 피하출구을 통해 상부종격에 위치시켰다 (free grafting). 양례 모두 술후 쾌회복하였으며 외래를 통해 추적관찰 중이다.
