Key Points

  • This research aims to evaluate the safety and feasibility of discharging patients on postoperative day 1 after breast reconstruction surgery.
  • Implemented Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols for postoperative care.
  • Evaluated rates of flap loss and post-discharge complications.
  • Compared outcomes for patients discharged on day 1 versus standard discharge times.
  • No increase in flap loss among early discharged patients.
  • Post-discharge complication rates remained low and similar to usual discharge timings.

Abstract

Early discharge following microsurgical breast reconstruction did not show increased risk of flap loss or post-discharge complications. When guided by Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols, early discharge can be achieved without increasing the risk of unplanned hospital-based care.
