    Eighteen children required unplanned reoperation, while 43 did not, with significant differences in defect area and time to healing.

  • 3

    The average defect area was 2.24 cm² in the reoperation group compared to 1.31 cm² in the non-reoperation group.

  • 4

    The time from wound healing to reoperation was significantly longer in the reoperation group, averaging 13.67 months.

    Multivariate analysis identified defect area and time since the first surgery as independent predictors of reoperation.
