Innovative Predictive Model for Vascular Crises in Oral and Maxillofacial Cancer Patients Undergoing Free Flap Surgery

Posted: December 5, 2024
A predictive nomogram was developed and validated for identifying vascular crises in oral and maxillofacial cancer patients undergoing free flap surgery. Key predictors included tissue flap width, D-dimer levels, preoperative hemoglobin, hemoglobin difference pre and post-surgery, and type of venous anastomosis. The nomogram exhibited strong predictive performance with high specificity and clinical applicability, aiding in the early detection of high-risk patients. This innovation enhances patient safety and outcomes in oral and maxillofacial surgery.
