ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Dermatologists perform most interpolated flaps after skin cancer resection. Prospective, multicenter data on complications after interpolated flap repair in this setting are limited.OBJECTIVE:
To determine the rate of physician-reported complications after interpolated flap repair of the nose.METHODS:
Multicenter, prospective cohort study of 169 patients undergoing 2-stage interpolated flap repair of post-Mohs nasal defects. Frequency of bleeding, infection, dehiscence, necrosis, hospitalization, and death in the 30 days after flap placement and flap takedown are reported.RESULTS:
Patients experienced 23 complications after flap placement (13.61%) and 6 complications after flap takedown (3.55%) that were related to the surgical procedure. The most frequent complication after flap placement was bleeding (9, 5.33%, 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.83%-9.82%). The most frequent complication after flap takedown was infection (5, 2.96%, 95% CI 1.27%-6.74%). There was one hospitalization related to an adverse reaction to antibiotics. There were no deaths.CONCLUSION:
Most complications after interpolated flap repair for post-Mohs defects of the nose are minor and are associated with flap placement. Interpolated flap repair for post-Mohs defects can be performed safely in the outpatient setting under local anesthesia.
