Student’s t test showed significant differences in BMI ( P = 0.040) and fever time ( P = 0.050). 5 patients (4.0%) had redness 2 patients (1.6%) had swelling 2 patients (1.6%) had fat necrosis 3 patients (2.4%) had incision infection and 3 patients (2.4%) had flap necrosis. 15 (12.0%) patients had incision complications.


The mean age of these patients was 43.3 ± 10.0 years. The wounds were assessed and measured on the third and seventh days after surgery. A total of 125 patients with MMD were enrolled in this prospective observational study.

We aimed to analyze risk factors for PWH in MMD with a complete Y-shaped incision. Moyamoya disease (MMD) is a chronic occlusive cerebrovascular disease that can be treated with revascularization. Surgery increases the risk of poor wound healing (PWH) due to the impact on the blood supply to the flap.
