The aim of this study was to provide a comparative survival analysis of postoperative complications between smooth (STEs) and textured tissue expanders (TTEs) in breast reconstruction.

- The study focuses on developing protocols for safe early discharge of patients who underwent free tissue transfer surgeries during the COVID-19 pandemic, aiming for discharge within 72 hours post-operation.
- Six patients were reviewed, all of whom experienced no complications and successfully discharged within this timeframe, highlighting the potential for early discharge without adverse outcomes.
- The research ultimately seeks to balance patient safety and healthcare costs while addressing the challenges posed by a shortage of ICU beds during the pandemic.
