Risk factors for surgical site infection in head and neck cancer

Chengwen Gan et al.

Summary: This study analyzed data from 632 head and neck cancer patients and identified diabetes mellitus, primary tumor site (floor of mouth), flap failure, preoperative radiotherapy, and bilateral neck dissection as risk factors for SSI. Machine learning consistently ranked diabetes mellitus, primary tumor site (floor of mouth), and flap failure as the top three among the 26 SSI-related risk factors.

Postoperative care in ICU versus non-ICU after head and neck free-flap surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Mubarak Ahmed Mashrah et al.

Summary: The study aimed to compare the outcomes and complications of patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) versus non-ICU after microvascular head and neck reconstructive surgery. The results showed no significant differences in flap survival between the two groups, but patients admitted to ICU had a higher incidence of postoperative pneumonia and sepsis. Limiting routine ICU admission to selected patients may reduce the incidence of postoperative complications.

Pneumonia, urinary tract infection, bacteremia, and Clostridioides difficile infection following major head and neck free and pedicled flap surgeries

Tjoson Tjoa et al.

Summary: Medical postoperative infections are significant complications following major head and neck free and pedicled flap reconstruction surgeries, with 14.1% of patients affected. Three-quarters of infections occur within one week postoperatively, with gram-negative bacilli and Staphylococcus aureus being the predominant pathogens.

The Impact of Healthcare-Associated Infections in Patients Undergoing Oncological Microvascular Head and Neck Reconstruction: A Prospective Multicentre Study

Ana Ramos-Zayas et al.

Summary: Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) are common after head and neck free-flap reconstruction surgery, leading to increased postoperative complications and risks, with important factors including previous radiotherapy, anaemia, and surgical duration. The infections often caused by resistant microorganisms, play a significant role in cancer prognosis by delaying adjuvant therapy.
