Background: Patients transferred to Plastic Surgery Departments for sternum osteomyelitis have a high morbidity of about 3%. Despite several known options for sternal wound coverage and salvage operations, wound dehiscence or wound necrosis can occur, increasing patient morbidity. Patients and Methods: One hundred thirty-five patients admitted between January 2007 and December 2010 were evaluated in a retrospective study for wound dehiscence after salvage-wound coverage at our institution. Various flaps were applied, such as pectoralis major myocutaneous pedicled flaps, pectoralis major muscle pedicled flaps, latissimus dorsi pedicled flaps, greater omental flaps, and vertical rectus abdominis muscle and transverse rectus abdominis muscle flaps. Inclusion criteria were sternal wound infection, bacterial wound infection, previous wound debridement outside our institution, vacuum-assisted closure device wound treatment at our institution, and secondary flap closure of the sternal defect at our institution. A multivariate regression analysis was performed. Results: One hundred thirty patients met the inclusion criteria. In all patients, bacterial wound colonization was shown. Forty patients showed wound dehiscence after closure at our institution. Reasons for wound dehiscence were attributed to wound size, >4 different species of bacteria colonizing the wound, gram-negative bacteria, Candida albicans, intensive care unit stay, and female gender. Interestingly, wound dehiscence was not significant correlated to obesity, smoking, atherosclerosis, renal insufficiency or type of closure influenced significantly, or necrosis. Conclusions: Female patients after CABG, with large sternal wounds infected with gram-negative bacteria and candida, have an 85% risk of wound dehiscence after flap coverage for sternal wound infection.
