Abstract
With increasing focus on outcomes-driven healthcare, unplanned reoperation may be useful for monitoring quality across hospitals and identifying opportunities for quality improvement. This study provides the first analysis of risk factors associated with 30-day unplanned reoperations in pediatric plastic surgery. These results may aid in the informed consent process, improve patient risk assessment, counseling, and surgical planning.
