The Split Rib Technique: An Approach to the Thoracic Cavity

The Split Rib Technique: An Approach to the Thoracic Cavity Abstract The technique involves resecting a 1-cm section of rib posteriorly and then splitting the rib longitudinally with the Stryker saw or the neuroaerotome to the desired point anteriorly, where the rib is again divided. Blood loss on entering is minimized, reapproximation during closure is simpler and more secure than by other methods, and the patients experience little postoperative pain. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Archives of Surgery American Medical Association

Abstract

Abstract The technique involves resecting a 1-cm section of rib posteriorly and then splitting the rib longitudinally with the Stryker saw or the neuroaerotome to the desired point anteriorly, where the rib is again divided. Blood loss on entering is minimized, reapproximation during closure is simpler and more secure than by other methods, and the patients experience little postoperative pain.
