Sponsor's own description

The goal of this observational study is to determine the effects of a flap-shaped paramedian skin incision on protection from mediastinal infections, wound healing, and scar formation in open heart surgery performed through the classic median sternotomy approach compared with the classic median skin incision. The main question aimed to be answered is: Is paramedian flap skin incision effective in improving sternotomy wound healing? Does it have a preventive effect on the development of sternal wound infection? Does it have a protective effect on keloid formation? Patients who underwent open-heart surgery with classical median sternotomy will be randomized into two groups: paramedian flap skin incision and median skin incision. The effectiveness of the paramedian incision will be investigated by comparing perioperative data and data from the first three months of follow-up.
