Identifying modifiable perioperative risk factors for wound healing complications after immediate autologous breast reconstruction

Background - Autologous breast reconstruction (ABR) offers superior aesthetics but carries significant risks of wound healing complications. We aimed to identify modifiable perioperative factors associated with these complications to optimize surgical outcomes. - Methods - We analyzed the ACS-NSQIP...

Descrizione
Riassunto:Background - Autologous breast reconstruction (ABR) offers superior aesthetics but carries significant risks of wound healing complications. We aimed to identify modifiable perioperative factors associated with these complications to optimize surgical outcomes. - Methods - We analyzed the ACS-NSQIP database (2011-2022) for patients undergoing immediate ABR. Multivariable regression identified independent associations with 30-day wound complications. - Results - Among 7489 patients, wound complications occurred 634 times: superficial surgical site infection (SSSI, n = 358), deep incisional infection (DII, n = 87), dehiscence (n = 126), and organ space infection (OSI, n = 63). Higher BMI was significantly associated with all wound complication types (OR 1.1; p ≤ 0.001). Smoking was independently associated with SSSI (OR 1.6; p = 0.024) and DII (OR 2.3; p = 0.033). Diabetes (OR 3.3; p < 0.001) and dyspnea (OR 3.6; p = 0.022) were significantly associated with increased OSI risk. Wound class >1 was associated with SSSI (OR 1.5) and DII (OR 2.4). - Conclusion - BMI, smoking, and diabetes are critical and potentially modifiable risk factors associated with wound complications in ABR. Preoperative optimization could reduce these adverse events and improve reconstructive success.
