Abstract

To compare morbidity and cost in patients who underwent primary reconstruction with free tissue transfer with those with pectoralis major myocutaneous flap (PMMF) reconstructions after ablation of oral and oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma. Over a 6-year period, 36 patients had PMMF reconstructions and 127 patients had a variety of free flap (FRF) reconstructions after oral and oropharyngeal cancer ablation. Correction for confounding patient and disease variables was performed by matching all PMMF patients to a randomly selected cohort of FRF patients for age, sex, International Union Against Cancer-American Joint Committee on Cancer T category, tumour subsite, and radiotherapy status. This resulted in two groups of 32 patients each, with the flap reconstruction being the only variable. The following outcome variables were analyzed: operative time; blood loss; admission length, including intensive care unit and coronary care unit stay; complications; secondary interventions; readmissions; and feeding status. Cumulative costs of nursing care, hospital supplies and charges, surgeon's fees, and anesthesiologist's fees were calculated. Statistical analysis applied the paired Student's t-test and the chi-square test. Of all mor...Continue Reading
