Abstract
In these patients, poor nutrition status, indicated by low BMI and low albumin level, was associated with a greater tendency to develop postoperative complications. Patients who had diabetes or who had received radiotherapy before surgery had a high risk for major complications. A large skin paddle seemed to be an influencing factor for minor complications, such as wound dehiscence and superficial loss of flaps.
