Complications after thigh sarcoma resection

Abstract: Background and Objectives Standard treatment for extremity sarcoma is limb‐sparing surgery often with radiation, but complications occur frequently. We sought to determine factors predictive of wound complications after thigh sarcoma resection and reconstruction while analyzing trends over time. Methods We reviewed all thigh defects requiring plastic surgeon reconstruction following sarcoma resection at our institution from 1997 to 2014. Patient demographics, comorbidities, operative characteristics, multi‐mod… Show more

“…In elderly sarcoma patients, the mean operation time is 114.7 min and the mean blood loss is 160.7 mL [11]. Additionally, a previous study showed that the infection rate after surgical treatment for sarcomas was 23.3% [23]. In the current study, there was no reoperation and no patients developed infection; however, the operation time and intraoperative blood loss were longer and larger, respectively, than those previously reported for elderly sarcoma patients [17].…”
