Patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction who remain symptomatic despite optimal medical therapy may undergo a septal myectomy (Morrow procedure). This procedure involves excising a portion of the hypertrophied septum below the aortic valve using a heart-lung machine to improve blood flow through the LVOT. Effective preoperative and postoperative nursing management ensures successful patient outcomes, minimizes complications, and...

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Surgical Outcomes
  • Patient Safety

Background:

  • Reduction mammaplasty treats macromastia.
  • Higher body mass index (BMI) correlates with increased complication risk.
  • Impact of operative time on outcomes is less understood.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Investigate the influence of surgery length and surgeon on reduction mammaplasty outcomes.
  • Identify key predictors of complications in this procedure.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective chart review of bilateral reduction mammaplasty patients (Jan 2020 - Aug 2024).
  • Multivariable regression analysis assessing operative time, BMI, and surgeon.
  • Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis for complication prediction modeling.

Main Results:

  • 102 patients analyzed; average BMI 33.4, average surgery length 229.7 min.
  • Overall complication rate was 24.5%.
  • Operative time alone did not significantly increase complications, but surgeon, operative time, and BMI together predicted outcomes (AUC=0.65, P=0.04).

Conclusions:

  • Operative time does not appear to independently alter reduction mammaplasty complication rates.
  • Incorporating surgeon into predictive models with operative time and BMI significantly improves complication discrimination.
  • Highlights the critical role of surgeon experience in patient outcomes for reduction mammaplasty.
