Assessment of Adverse Event Risk in Combined Plastic Surgery Procedures Utilizing the Tracking Operations and Outcomes for Plastic Surgeons (TOPS) Database

PURPOSE: Combining several surgical procedures into one operative session is widespread in the field of plastic surgery; however, the implications of this practice are not fully understood. There are several benefits that should be taken into consideration when deciding whether to combine plastic surgery procedures. First, combining procedures reduces the number of times a patient must undergo anesthesia. Additionally, the patient benefits from a lower cost burden and single postoperative recovery. However, these benefits must be weighed against any potential increased risk for the patient. This study aimed to evaluate the rates and characteristics of adverse events associated with combining plastic surgery procedures in a single session as compared with similar outcomes of index procedures alone.
