BACKGROUND: Surgical-site infections after reduction mammaplasty are associated with poor cosmetic results. This study investigated the postoperative antiinflammatory influence of hydroxyethyl starch and its effect on surgical-site infections after breast reduction.
METHODS: In this prospective case-control study, 334 patients undergoing reduction mammaplasty were prospectively assigned in a 2:1 ratio to receive either 2 × 250 ml of hydroxyethyl starch 6 % or saline solution 0.9 % for 3 days postoperatively. Patient follow-up evaluation was at least 1 month. Using uni- and multivariate analyses, this study aimed to identify risk factors for surgical-site infections and nipple necrosis.
RESULTS: Surgical-site infections occurred in 6.6 % of the hydroxyethyl starch group and in 3.6 % of the control group (p = 0.704). Hydroxyethyl starch had no effect of reducing surgical-site infections [p = 0.212; odds ratio (OR), 0.317; confidence interval (CI), 0.052-1.925]. According to univariate analyses, hydroxyethyl starch reduced the occurrence of postoperative fever (p = 0.085; OR 0.608; CI 0.345-1.072), and fever was associated with increased infection rates (p = 0.033; OR 2.335; CI 1.071-5.089). Additional risk factors for postoperative infections were diabetes (p = 0.051; OR 4.051; CI 0.997-16.463) and obesity (normal weight vs grade ≥2: p = 0.003; OR 7.612; CI 2.031-28.529). Multivariate analysis showed no independent predictors for surgical-site infections. Nipple necrosis were equally observed in the two groups (p = 0.458; OR 1.643; CI 0.443-6.097).
CONCLUSION: The antiinflammatory approach of hydroxyethyl starch did not lead to a decrease in infections or nipple necrosis. No difference in surgical-site infections was observed between aesthetic and oncologic procedures.
