Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Postoperative complication rate associated with plastic surgery procedures, classified according to the Clavien-Dindo system, within 30 days after surgery. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| • Duration of surgery • Reoperation rate (28% of patients required surgical revision) • Wound healing rate (100% of patients achieved complete healing during follow-up) • Donor site complications • Factors associated with complications, including: • Number of negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) cycles prior to reconstruction • Interval between oncologic resection and reconstructive surgery • Length of hospital stay • Follow-up duration • Postoperative functional outcomes, e.g., no limitations in leg mobility reported | — |
