Untitled - Deutsches Herzzentrum München

Welcome
Dear Colleagues,
Sternal dehiscence with or without infection is still a serious complication of median sternotomy. In case of reduced bone vitality, efforts of sternal refixation can
be a challenging problem. The principle of rigid plate and screw osteosynthesis
gained from orthopaedic surgery is a promising approach for sternal reconstruction in complicated cases.
This workshop offers a combined didactic and laboratory program designed to
provide the participants with the contemporary strategies in sternal wound
treatment and bone management in cardio-thoracic surgery.
The didactic sessions will be focused on concepts, strategies and modern techniques in the treatment of sternal complications. Laboratory sessions will include
the use of osteosynthesis material on sternal defects and a presentation of the
newest technical equipment and materials available.
The workshop will bring together an international faculty whose members will
lecture on their respective areas of expertise, lead laboratory sessions, and engage in informal case discussions with attendees.
We hope to offer all participants a unique learning experience and look forward
to welcoming you to Munich.
