摘要
A large series of women who had undergone bilateral, pedicled TRAM flap reconstructions were compared with women who had had unilateral, unipedicled TRAM flap procedures to determine whether a bilateral TRAM flap breast reconstruction had significant additional morbidity. The records of all women who underwent either a bilateral or unilateral pedicled TRAM flap breast reconstruction through the Emory Clinic from 1987 to 1994 (n = 257) were retrospectively analyzed with respect to general, breast (fat necrosis, flap loss, and cellulitis), and abdominal (hernia, skin loss, and cellulitis) complications. By using logistic regression, risk factors for these complications were determined. The incidence of fat necrosis and partial flap loss was not significantly different among bilateral patients compared with patients with unilateral TRAM reconstructions (10.0 percent versus 12.6 percent, p = 0.64 and 3.8 percent versus 5.5 percent, p = 0.74, respectively). The rate of hernia formation in the bilateral TRAM flap patients (5.4 percent) was similar to that of unilateral patients (3.9 percent, p = 0.80). Significant factors for any complication in both patient populations included obesity, smoking, and prior irradiation. The type of breast reconstruction was not a significant factor for any breast or donor-site complication. A bilateral TRAM reconstruction showed a weak association with general complications. Review of the Emory Clinic experience with unilateral and bilateral pedicled TRAM flap reconstuctions from 1987 to 1994 was able to detect no significant additional rate of complications for bilateral pedicled TRAM flap breast reconstructions compared Kith unilateral unipedicled TRAM flap procedures.
