Variables analyzed included surgical, functional, aesthetic outcomes, and incidence of complications.
Mean follow-up duration was 44 months.
Low rate of intraoperative and immediate postoperative complications, with no transfusions needed.
Late complications mostly involved scarring or aesthetic defects, which were surgically correctable.
Average surgical duration was 4 hours and hospitalization time was 4 days.
