ObjectivesUnplanned reoperation causes physical and psychological stress in patients and it costs more in terms of medical, economic and social resource. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the incidence, risk factors and clinical significance of unplanned reoperation (any unscheduled surgery within 30 days from the initial surgery) in patients who had undergone head and neck cancer (HNC) surgery.Materials and methodsA total of 574 consecutive patients who had received surgery for HNC with or without flap reconstruction from 2010 to 2015 were analyzed. Clinical and biochemical characteristics, cause of unplanned reoperation, cancer subsites, and previous treatment history were compared between unplanned reoperation group (n = 60) and control group (n = 514). Multivariable analyses were performed to identify risk factors for unplanned reoperation. Clinical significance was evaluated by multivariable survival analyses using Cox proportional hazard model.ResultsOverall rate of unplanned reoperation was 10.5%. Flap complication (40.0%) was the most common cause, followed by infection (16.7%), necrosis (11.7%), and bleeding (8.3%). Higher N (N2) classification, long operation time and previous treatment before surgery were identified as risk factors for unplanned reoperation. Based on multivariable survival analyses, recurrence-free survival was significantly decreased in unplanned reoperation group (Hazard ratio = 1.85, 95% confidence interval [1.23–2.80]), but not overall survival.ConclusionUnplanned reoperation significantly decreased recurrence-free survival in patients with HNC surgery. Thus, careful surgical/ perioperative management is needed to reduce unplanned reoperation in HNC patients with advanced nodal disease, long operation time or previous treatment history.
