Abstract
The VHWG classification was unable to predict SSI and SSO and may not be applicable in LVHR. This study identified independent factors associated with SSI and SSO in LVHR. Although further study is warranted to validate these results, the factors presented may be a useful tool to stratify patient risk of SSI and SSO with LVHR.
