dc.description.abstract | Background: A previous abdominal scar is generally considered as a challenge for breast reconstruction using abdominal flaps. Since it may interfere with the perfusion of abdominal tissue and weaken the abdominal fascia, many plastic surgeons are concerned about the theoretical risk of postoperative complications. This study aims to assess the effects of previous scar on complications in abdominal flap-based breast reconstruction. Methods: This systematic review of the literature was conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guideline using MEDLINE, Ovid, and Cochrane databases in March 2020. All studies comparing the complication rates between patients with previous abdominal scars and control group without a scar were included. However, articles such as case series fewer than 10 patients, letters and animal studies were excluded. Results: A total of 2109 patients underwent 2792 abdominal flap tissue transfers for breast reconstruction in the 11 studies reviewed. A previous scar increased the risk of overall flap complications (RR 1.12; 95% CI, 0.95-1.32; fixed-effect model, I-2 = 13%) and donor-site complications (RR 1.35; 95% CI, 1.13-1.62; fixed-effect model, I-2 = 42%, p > 0.05). In particular, the risk of donor-site wound problem was significantly higher than that in the control group (RR 1.83; 95% CI, 1.35-2.46; fixed-effect model, I-2 = 19%, p > 0.05). Conclusions: This study result showed that the previous scar increased the risk for all types of complications compared with the control group. In patients with a vertical midline scar, it requires careful preoperative planning with CT angiography and attentive follow-up. However, with careful preoperative planning and an appropriate strategy, it is possible to overcome the detrimental effect of previous scar.
