Overview

Retrospective analysis identifies predictors of complications in free flap surgeries, suggesting proactive measures.

Key Points

  • Complication-free survival after free flap surgery was 63%, with significant predictors identified.
  • Female gender, alcohol abuse, and obesity were linked to higher risk factors for complications.
  • A retrospective study of 125 cases assessed predictors using regression models from a tertiary referral center.
  • Optimizing nutritional status and administering intraoperative treatments may enhance complication outcomes.
