Girkar F, Thiagarajan S, Malik A, et al. - Given that orocutaneous fistula (OCF) is one of the most commonly encountered postoperative complications following surgery for oral cancer and can lead to prolonged hospital stay as well as delays in the initiation of adjuvant therapy, researchers evaluated the incidence of OCF, its management, and factors predisposing to its development. They included all patients with oral cancer who underwent surgery from January 2016 to December 2017 and were at risk for developing an OCF. Of the 587 patients who were eligible, 9% developed OCF. Investigators found that the presence of surgical site infection and bilateral neck dissection in patients undergoing oral cancer surgery posed the highest risk of developing OCF.
