Chen CL, et al. - In this cohort study of data from 2175 patients receiving paramedian forehead flap surgery, the rates of postoperative complications and hospital readmissions were determined. Findings suggest that patients with facial cancer can safely undergo forehead flap surgery in the outpatient setting without the need for anticoagulation. These patients had low overall complication rates, including postoperative deep venous thrombosis. Postoperative infection was identified to be the most common complication, while the greatest odds of hospital readmission within the first 48 hours of surgery were noted in relation to postoperative bleeding.
