Flap reconstruction for extremity soft tissue sarcoma (STS) increases complications but improves local tumor control. This study minimized bias to compare outcomes between flap reconstruction and primary closure in STS patients.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Oncology
  • Surgical Reconstruction
  • Cancer Treatment Outcomes

Background:

  • Flap reconstruction for extremity soft tissue sarcoma (STS) can lead to increased morbidity.
  • Accurate assessment of flap reconstruction's impact requires minimizing confounding factors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare treatment, functional, and oncologic outcomes of flap reconstruction versus primary closure for extremity STS.
  • To minimize bias using propensity score matching for accurate outcome comparison.

Main Methods:

  • Propensity score analysis matched 37 flap reconstruction patients with 111 primary closure patients.
  • Patient and tumor characteristics at presentation were used for matching.
  • Outcomes including functional scores, complications, and oncologic control were compared.

Main Results:

  • Flap reconstruction group had lower functional scores, higher complication rates, and longer hospital stays (P < 0.001).
  • The flap group demonstrated better local control (P = 0.015) and a trend towards wider surgical margins (P = 0.051).

Conclusions:

  • Flap reconstruction in extremity STS is associated with increased morbidity but improved local tumor control.
  • These findings offer critical insights for managing extremity STS patients.
