Resumen

MALAGON-LOPEZ, Paloma et al. Optimization of the postoperative protocol of the microsurgical breast reconstruction with DIEP and MS-TRAM flaps. Cir. plást. iberolatinoam. [online]. 2023, vol.49, n.3, pp.231-236.  Epub 11-Dic-2023. ISSN 1989-2055.  https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/s0376-78922023000300005.

Background and objective.

Pain management is essential during the immediate postoperative period of microsurgical flaps for breast reconstruction.

The aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness of a postoperative management protocol based on the use of an abdominal bupivacaine catheter and the early mobilization of patients.

Methods.

Patients underwent free DIEP and MS-TRAM flaps for breast reconstruction in our Service from January 2013 to December 2019 were included and divided into 2 groups according to the postoperative management protocol used, standard versus fast-track, to compare its effectiveness.

Results.

A total of 186 patients were included: 68 standard group, 118 fast-track group. The length of hospital stays, the intravenous opiate use and vomiting during the immediate postoperative period, were reduced in the fast-track group, and the results were statistically significant (p = 0.013, p =0.001 and p = 0.012, respectively). The initiation of ambulation was earlier in the fast-track group (p = 0.01). No differences in abdominal complications were found between both protocols.

Conclusions.

In our experience, the fast-track protocol allows to optimize the management of postoperative pain, to initiate an earlier ambulation and to reduce the length of the hospital stay in breast microsurgical reconstruction with abdominal fap.
