Abstract
AVF and BMI were not significant predictors of abdominal wound healing complications after DIEP flap reconstruction. This study established active smoking (ORâ=â11.4, pâ=â<â0.001) as the significant risk factor that contributed to the development of abdominal wound dehiscence in patients with DIEP.
