Macroscopic images of the right thoracic wound on days 7, 18, 22, and 35. (A) Dehiscence at the right thoracic surgical closure site due to ongoing infection and inflammation is observed on day 7 of hospitalization. Surgical debridement under mild sedation is performed. After the debridement, costochondral separation (arrowheads) is detected between the right 7th and 11th costochondral junction. (B) After administration of itraconazole, an antifungal agent, granulation tissue successfully forms for wound closure on day 18 of hospitalization. (C) Four days after the routine wound closure of the right thorax (day 22 of hospitalization), the wound is healing well without any inflammation or dehiscence. (D) Skin staples are removed 18 days after wound closure (35 days after the initial presentation) after adequate wound healing.
