Predictors of postoperative complications following staged nipple-sparing mastectomy: A systematic review & meta-analysis
Patient factors such as mastectomy weight and implant size were associated with higher complication rates. In studies of patients who underwent a second surgery within 12 months, no correlation was found between the interval between surgeries and complication likelihood, suggesting that a shorter interval may be safely considered.
