Free flap (FF) reconstruction of traumatic injuries to the head and neck is uncommon.
Multi-institutional retrospective case series of patients undergoing FF reconstruction for a traumatic injury (n = 103).
Majority were gunshot wounds (GSW; 85%, n = 88) and motor vehicle accidents (11%, n = 11). Majority underwent osseous reconstruction (82%, n = 84). FF failures (9%, n = 9/103) occurred in GSW patients (100%, n = 9/9) and when multiple subsites were injured (89%, n = 8/9). Preoperative antibiotics correlated with lower rates of a neck washouts (4% vs. 19%) (p = 0.01) and 30-day readmissions (4% vs. 17%) (p = 0.02).
All FF failures occurred in the setting of a GSW and the majority involved multiple subsites. Preoperative antibiotics correlated with lower rates of postoperative washout procedures and 30-day readmission.
头颈部创伤的游离皮瓣(FF)重建并不常见。
对 103 例因创伤而行 FF 重建的患者进行多机构回顾性病例系列研究。
大多数为枪伤(85%,n=88)和机动车事故(11%,n=11)。大多数患者接受了骨重建(82%,n=84)。FF 失败(9%,n=9/103)发生在枪伤患者(100%,n=9/9)和多个部位受伤的患者(89%,n=8/9)中。术前使用抗生素与较低的颈部冲洗(4%比 19%)(p=0.01)和 30 天再入院率(4%比 17%)(p=0.02)相关。
所有 FF 失败均发生在枪伤的情况下,且大多数涉及多个部位。术前使用抗生素与术后冲洗程序和 30 天再入院率较低相关。
