Özet
Tracheostomy concomitant with median sternotomy is known to increase the risk of sternal and mediastinal infections. In this article, we report a 59-year-old male patient who underwent tracheostomy concomitant with coronary artery bypass grafting surgery using a modified "reverse J-shaped" median sternal skin incision and full sternotomy to decrease the risk of sternal infection.
