Why the study?
Do fast track surgery principles reduce length of stay in patients undergoing autologous breast reconstruction using free flaps?
Do fast track surgery principles reduce length of stay in patients undergoing autologous breast reconstruction using free flaps?
Fast track surgery principles can reduce length of stay by at least 1 day after autologous breast reconstruction using free flaps without increasing complications.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
May support shorter LOS after free-flap breast reconstruction without added risk; hypothesis-generating and requires randomized confirmation.
By introducing a simple, peri- and postoperative care concept it is possible to reduce LOS after microsurgery by at least 1 day without an increase in complications or flap loss.
