Intraoperative Complications as Predictors of Flap Failure in Autologous Breast Reconstruction
Alternate venous outflow predicts early partial flap loss, while intraoperative thrombosis and arterial and venous revision predict early total loss. Difficult flap dissection was associated with early total and late partial flap loss, while difficult recipient vessel dissection was associated with late total flap loss.
