Superficial Tumor Location and Adiposity as Independent Predictors of Postoperative Wound Complications in Sarcoma Resections of the Thigh.

Key Points

• The research aims to determine how superficial tumor location and thigh adiposity affect the risk of postoperative wound complications after sarcoma resections.
• Analyzed postoperative outcomes in sarcoma patients after thigh resections.
• Assessed superficial tumor location and adiposity levels preoperatively.
• Utilized radiographic measures to evaluate local coverage and tissue quality.
• Superficial tumor location is a significant predictor of wound complications.
• Increased thigh adiposity independently predicts higher risk of complications.
• Combining these factors may improve preoperative assessments and surgical planning.
