Abstract
Our findings suggest that perioperative hyperglycemia, specifically during the first 24â¯h post-operatively, is associated with SSI in microvascular head and neck reconstruction. This association highlights the need for strict screening of head and neck patients for hyperglycemia especially in the immediate post-operative period.
