[Patient counseling in case of postoperative complication leading to emergency reintervention in plastic surgery. What is the current situation? How to improve? Retrospective study of counseling modalities and traceability in a series of 16 patients who needed emergency reintervention within a cohort of 402 patients].
Preoperative counseling is structured and well defined. Nevertheless, in the event of a complication leading to a new emergency surgical procedure, counseling is not well defined. We conducted a retrospective study of information delivered in this situation at our institution. ⋯ Information delivery traceability is mandatory. In case of complication leading to emergency reintervention, traceability should be done in the same way as prior to initial surgery.
