Surgical resection for persistent seroma, following modified radical mastectomy
BACKGROUND Seroma formation following modified radical mastectomy with axillary lymph node dissection for breast cancer is a most common wound complication. In our experience seroma occurs in approximately 50% of patients undergoing mastectomy. Postmastectomy seromas usually vanishes within a few weeks after operation. CASE PRESENTATION In this report we present the case of a 73 year old woma...
متن کاملEfficacy of axillary exclusion on seroma formation after modified radical mastectomy
BACKGROUND Breast cancer represented 35.1% of total female cancer cases in Egypt. Seroma is one of the most serious and common complications of mastectomy and axillary dissection with incidence between 15 and 81%. Seroma formation delays wound healing and increases susceptibility to infection, skin flap necrosis, and persistent pain as well as prolonging convalescence. Therefore, several techni...
متن کاملEffect of One versus Two Drain Insertion on Postoperative Seroma Formation after Modified Radical Mastectomy
Background: Modified radical mastectomy (MRM) is still one of globally accepted surgical techniques for breast cancer and in some selected patient is the gold standard type of surgery. The most frequent complication of this procedure is seroma under skin flaps or in the axilla as reported as much as 30% in some studies. The use of closed suction drainage system to reduce the incidence of this c...
متن کاملEffect Of Preoperative Intravenous Steroids On Seroma Formation After Modified Radical Mastectomy.
BACKGROUND With the steep increase in breast cancer incidence globally and regionally, there has been a trend toward reducing patient morbidity by meticulous surgical techniques to obviate complications like seroma formation; use to pre-operative steroids seems to be convenient, cost effective and shows promising results in trials. METHODS This randomized clinical trial was conducted at Surgi...
متن کاملEffect of mechanical closure of dead space on seroma formation in modified radical mastectomy
Materials and methods: Patients undergoing modified radical mastectomy were separated into 2 random groups of 50 according to wound closure methods: either flap fixation/mechanical obliteration or standard wound closure group. The fluid that collected under the flaps assessed at the physical examination after the drains were removed was accepted as seroma. The patients’ characteristics, duratio...
