cesternorrafía

Chest x-ray report: "Presencia de clips de sutura por cesternorrafía." Googling this word gets NO hits. Closest thing I know is "cystorraphy" (for me, an antiquated term that doesn't say much). Also, you wouldn't see bladder clips on a chest x-ray, would you? Could it refer to gallbladder? Is it a typo? Thanks for any ideas.

Sternal x-Ray
Looks like two words mumbled into one with a jigger of creativeness.
Makes context sense.

: I think the correct word is: "esternorrafia". The incision for the operation is a midsternal one and the sternum is later closed with metallic sutures. That is why they appear in the chest x-ray.

sternal sutures
The suffix -orrhaphy means "suturing; repairing"

There doesn't appear to be a word "sternorrhaphy" in English, but it's certainly OK to say "sternal sutures" (580 hits on Google):

: Sternal clips are present because of sternal sutures?? How does that makes sense?//No, I read this as "owing to/due to".

The clips ARE the suturing process. POR = 'by way of'. Literally: "Presence of suture clips used as the means of suturing the sternum' (it sounds redudant because the Latin word doesn't exist in English).

Hi
I have found something else
both "esternorrafia" and "esternotomia " exist in Portuguese
Após a indução anestésica, um cateter-balão de termodiluição foi introduzido através de punção da veia jugular interna direita e avançado até sua impactação distal na árvore pulmonar. O sistema foi conectado a um computador para registro e cálculo das variáveis hemodinâmicas: índice cardíaco (IC), índice de trabalho sistólico do ventrículo esquerdo (ITSVE), índice de resistência vascular pulmonar (IRVP) e índice de resistência vascular sistêmica (IRVS). As medidas foram realizadas em quatro tempos: IO1 - antes da esternotomia mediana, IO2 - antes da administração de heparina, IO3 - após a administração de sulfato de protamina, e IO4 - após a esternorrafia.
Um transdutor transesofágico foi posicionado para avaliação ecodopplercardiográfica qualitativa intra-operatória em dois tempos: durante a abertura do tórax e após a saída de circulação extracorpórea.
Todas as operações foram realizadas com esternotomia mediana.

: Sternotomy is the act of cutting the sternum open, which is the opposite of suturing! Thanks to Slothm, we know we are dealing witht he sternum :-) Yes, but "-rrafia" means repairing not cutting! THE QUESTION IS ABOUT REPAIR AND YOU INSIST ON CUTTING!

The reason the suture clips are there in the first place is because a sternotomy has been carried out!!
