The Importance of Plastic Surgery in Multidisciplinary Teams: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Comparative Studies.

Plastic surgery–inclusive MDTs were similarly associated with lower odds of reoperation in APR (OR = 0.56; 95% CI, 0.24–1.29; reoperation rates, 15.4% versus 21.4% for non–plastic surgery–inclusive MDTs) and spine reconstruction (OR = 0.63; 95% CI, 0.28–1.44; reoperation rates, 3.6% for plastic surgery–inclusive MDTs versus 4.6% for non–plastic surgery–inclusive MDTs), but these did not reach statistical significance (Fig. 3 B).
