Özet
Background: Coronary bypass surgery is a common operation in cardiovascular surgery clinics and the operation is performed on both the chest and leg regions. Material and Methods: We evaluated 20 patients retrospectively. The patients with some complications who have been operated by cardiovascular surgeons in different hospitals and who have been consulted from our clinic were included in this study. Findings: The mean age of the patients was 55. Eight patients were female and 12 were male. Simple skin grafting was the first choice for extremity defects and pectoralis major musculocutaneous flaps were the first choice for the sternal defects. The hospitalization time varied between 2 and 3 weeks. One patient died two days after the operation. Discussion: The problems associated with cardiovascular surgery may be evaluated under three main groups: 1. General problems such as pressure sores, extravasation injuries; 2. The problems relating to the operation field such as strenotomy defects, vein donor site defects; 3. Complications that may occur following an invasive procedure instead of the surgery such as ischemia or lymphedema following angiography. Conclusion: It may seem that the practice of Plastic Surgery and the practice of Cardiovascular Surgery are far from each other. However, surgical practice without complications mentioned in this study is far from reality and it should be expected only a good hope. It can be said that in each hospital that cardiovascular surgery is performed, the existence of Plastic Surgery departments would be helpful.
