Abstract QS4: Outcomes in Breast Reconstruction: Does Race Play a Role? An Analysis of 51,362 Patients from the ACS-NSQIP

PURPOSE: Racial disparities in postoperative complications are widely observed in various surgical specialties. The influence of race is particularly evident and often described in current vascular, orthopedic, and spine surgery literature. Although disparities in access to plastic surgery are well described, the effect of race on plastic surgical outcomes remains largely undefined. This study aims to clarify the influence of race on reconstructive breast surgery outcomes
