Comparison of seroma formation between flap and non-flap fixation technique of mastectomy for different stages of breast cancer.

Objective: To compare the effect of flap fixation and non-flap for preventing seroma formation depending upon stage surgery in patients undergoing mastectomy at RMU Allied Hospitals following our local population. Study Design: Randomized Controlled Trial. Setting: Surgical Units Holy Family Hospital, Benazir Bhutto DHQ Hospital (RMU & Hospital). Period: October 2020 to April 2021. Material Methods: Sample size 114 cases was included study. It Non probability, consecutive sampling technique. Patients were equally randomized flap-fixation (Group A) B). both groups followed up 48 hours postoperatively formation. Results analysed using SPSS software compared by applying chi-square test p-value ≤0.05 considered significant. Results: Statistically significant difference (p-value ≤0.05) noted only disease IIIA. In group A (Flap Fixation), 22.8% (n=13) patients, while B (Non-Flap Fixation) it 45.6% (n=26) only. Conclusion: The with IIIA are significantly associated Whereas, is more useful technique minimizing
