ABSTRACT

Objective: To compare the number of postoperative seromas after mastectomy with the use of one or two drainages.
Patients and methods: Women with malignant tumors who underwent Madden modified radical mastectomy were studied.
They were divided into two groups: group A two drainages (axillar and pectoral), group B only one (axillar). For both groups demographical issues, body mass index (BMI = kg/m2), seromas and drainage period were determined.
Results: Twenty seven patients were evaluated: group A composed of 12 patients and B composed of 15. Age (years): A 56 ± 14 vs B 50 ± 6.5 (p NS), BMI: A 33.2 ± 3.4 vs B 32.6 ± 4.5 (p NS); seromas: A 4 vs B 5 (p NS); drainage period: A 23 ± 6 vs B 24 ± 7 (p NS).
Conclusions: There are no differences in postoperative seroma development in mastectomy wounds with the use of one or two drainages.
