Although abdominoplasty and panniculectomy are mainly indicated for patients with a history of obesity, no studies have yet investigated whether non-tobacco nicotine dependence poses a risk for abdominoplasty and panniculectomy complications.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objectives<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between preoperative non-tobacco nicotine dependence and the incidence of postoperative complications following abdominoplasty and panniculectomy procedures.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A retrospective cohort analysis was conducted based on data from the TriNetX Global Collaborative Network. Patients &amp;gt; 18 years who underwent abdominoplasty or panniculectomy were divided into 2 groups: those who had documented non-tobacco nicotine dependence (NTND) and those who had no documented nicotine dependence. Two subanalyses were further conducted, 1 of patients who underwent abdominoplasty and another of patients who underwent panniculectomy. Propensity score matching (PSM) was applied to balance demographic and clinical variables. Primary outcomes included postoperative complications at 3 time intervals: 30 days, 60 days, and 90 days.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>After 1:1 PSM, each cohort consisted of 1116 patients. Within 90 days following abdominoplasty or panniculectomy, patients with NTND exhibited significantly higher risks of surgical site infection (relative risk [RR] 1.458, 95% CI: 1.093-1.945), readmission (RR 1.632, 95% CI: 1.099-2.422), inpatient hospitalization (RR 1.333, 95% CI: 1.028-1.73), postoperative opioid use (RR 1.281, 95% CI: 1.204-1.363), and any surgical site complications (RR 1.549, 95% CI: 1.287-1.865) compared to patients without nicotine dependence.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Non-tobacco nicotine dependence is associated with increased risk of surgical site complications, readmission, and opioid consumption within 90 days postoperatively.
