Özet
Objective: One of the most common encountered problems in free flap surgeries is anastomotic thrombosis. The mean platelet volume (MPV) may indicate the concentration of intra-platelet proactive substances and the thrombogenic potential of the platelets. MPV is used as a clinical monitoring index in routine blood counts, it has not yet been effectively used in free flap surgery.Methods: This study evaluates the relationship between the preoperative MPV value and anastomotic thrombus formation during the postoperative 48hours in 32 free flap operations from September 2013 to September 2014. The mean patient age was 36.75 years. The preoperative MPV value, which was obtained from the complete blood count, was recorded and correlation of MPV and postoperative thrombus formation was investigated.Results: Four anastomotic thrombus were encountered in 34 free flaps during the postoperative 48hours. Two of them were salvaged by performing thrombectomy and/or administration of i.v. heparin. There was no statistical relationship between MPV value and postoperative thrombus formation during 48hours follow-up (p=0.925).Conclusion: Even though this study didn't find a correlation between preoperative MPV value and postoperative early anastomotic thrombus, it would be helpful to validate the results using multi-centre and comprehensive studies with larger patient cohorts.
