Background and Objectives: Male breast cancer (MBC) is rare. While surgical treatment may result in several complications in women, little is known about how it affects men. The objective of this study was to compare the incidence of postoperative wound complications between men and women after breast cancer surgery. Methods: This cohort study included all male patients enrolled for breast canc...

abstract background: the incidence of early wound related complications is assessed in laparoscopic versus open abdominal surgeries. complications of surgical wounds (esp. wound infections) are considered as a major problem in surgery wards. complications of surgical wounds are classified as early and late. common and early complications are hematoma, seroma and wound infection. methods: the me...

In order to evaluate the outcome and complications of Z plasty in pilonidal cyst repair, 90 patients with pilonidal cysts of the natal cleft were selected and repaired by Z-plasty in Al-Zahra hospital. The patients were followed for 6 months and complications such as seroma, infection and relapse were evaluated. The incidence of seroma, infection and relapse after Z-plasty was 12%,3.3% and ...

Systemic-to-pulmonary artery shunts using polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) (modified Blalock-Taussig shunt) are being used successfully in palliation of cyanotic congenital heart diseases. Graft thrombosis is by far the most common complication of the procedure. Persistant serum leakage through PTFE graft causing perigraft seroma is a rare but devastating complication resulting in increased durat...

Background and Objectives: Seroma, a subcutaneous collection of serous fluid, is the most common morbidity after modified radical mastectomy. Closed suction drains are used for drainage of serous fluid after MRM to obliterate the space beneath skin flaps and thus to decrease seroma formation. Amongst various factors that influence the amount of postoperative drainage, the negative suction press...

Background: Intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT) is a novel approach to breast cancer (BC) treatment. Objectives: In this study, we compared the cellular and molecular effects of IORT-treated post-lumpectomy wound fluid (seroma) at point IOeRT versus IOxRT on BC cell line. Methods: Immortalized human lines: MCF-7, MDA-MB-231, MCF10 were incubated with seroma from 3 groups patients (as pilot ...
