Area of Science:

  • Microsurgery
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Head and Neck Surgery

Background:

  • Postoperative hematoma is a significant complication in microvascular reconstructions.
  • Minimizing bleeding and the need for reoperation is crucial for patient outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the impact of ultrasonic shears on postoperative hematoma and takeback rates.
  • To determine if ultrasonic shears improve outcomes in head and neck microvascular reconstructions.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective cohort study of 2288 patients undergoing free flap reconstruction.
  • Comparison of outcomes between patients dissected with and without ultrasonic shears.

Main Results:

  • Overall hematoma rate was 1.3%.
  • Hematoma rates were significantly lower with ultrasonic shears (0.63%) compared to conventional methods (2.3%), P=.0015.
  • Takeback rates for bleeding were also reduced with ultrasonic shears (0.56% vs 1.61%).

Conclusions:

  • Ultrasonic shears are associated with a decreased rate of postoperative hematoma and takeback for bleeding.
  • The adoption of ultrasonic shears can reduce perioperative morbidity in head and neck cancer microvascular reconstruction.
