Abstract
Poststernotomy mediastinitis carries significant morbidity and mortality. Aggressive wound debridement combined with a pedicled omental flap, with or without a pedicled muscle flap, has gained acceptance in the management of difficult sternal wound infections. Two cases of poststernotomy mediastinitis and sternal wound reconstruction with a pedicled omental flap were complicated by a large anterior diaphragmatic hernia containing the large bowel.
