Comparison of Complication Risks Following Lower Extremity Free Flap Reconstruction Based on Seven Pre-Operative Indications: Analysis of the ACS-NSQIP Database.
Plast Surg (Oakv)
November 2024
Free tissue transfer is a valuable surgical option for the reconstruction of a myriad of complex lower extremity defects. Currently, there is a paucity of data that examines the risks of complications for each of these unique indications. Patients undergoing lower extremity free flap reconstruction from the ACS-NSQIP 2011-2019 database were stratified into groups based on the etiology and indication for reconstruction.

Methods: An institutional database containing 8,316,467 radiology reports was searched for suitable cases over a 241-month period. Fourteen female and 10 male patients, average age of 69.
Article Synopsis
- Lower extremity reconstructive surgery is about helping people fix their legs and many patients use online information to learn about their care.
- This study looked at 10 websites to see how easy they are to read and understand, and if they are culturally sensitive.
- The results showed that while the websites were hard to read and understand, they were appropriate for different cultures, and there’s a need for better online resources for patients.
Background: Plastic and reconstructive surgeons are often presented with reconstructive challenges as a sequela of complications in high-risk surgical patients, ranging from exposure of hardware, lymphedema, and chronic pain after amputation. These complications can result in significant morbidity, recovery time, resource utilization, and cost. Given the prevalence of surgical complications managed by plastic and reconstructive surgeons, developing novel preventative techniques to mitigate surgical risk is paramount.
