background: seroma formation is a common complication after breast cancer surgery. several techniques such as tube drainage, fibrin sealant and suturing methods have been employed to prevent or reduce seroma formation. capitonnage, a suturing method widely used following hydatid cyst removal, has been used after breast surgery in limited studies. our aim was to compare the effectiveness of tube...

Postoperative seroma is a well-known but rare complication of surgery. As a rule, treatment of a seroma consists of continuous wound drainage combined with compression therapy. This approach, however, often results in long-drawn-out treatment and the patient may find the compression therapy stressful. Alternatively, regular aspiration or surgical clearance may be performed. Radiotherapy is anot...

Although postoperative seroma formation is a rare complication, it is a bothersome and hard-to-treat situation when occurred. In daily practice of vascular surgery, postoperative use of intravenous heparin is indicated as a risk factor for postoperative symptomatic seroma development. According to the literature,a significant cause that we face this problem with increasing incidence may be the ...

Background: Although there is plentiful evidence favoring the fixation of the skin flaps to the underlying muscles (quilting) to prevent seroma formation after axillary lymph node dissection (ALND), there is a paucity of study concerning its treatment effect. Several randomized controlled trials (RCTs) demonstrated quilting group did not require significantly more operative time than no-quiltin...

BACKGROUND To assess postoperative complications, clinical outcome and histological findings in patients undergoing intraoperative radiotherapy with low energy x-rays for early breast cancer. METHODS We retrospectively analysed data of 208 women who underwent intraoperative irradiation during breast conserving surgery (BCS) between 2002 and 2007.

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...

Late onset seroma is a rare post-operative complication occurring after various surgeries including thymectomy. Most cases are asymptomatic; however, seromas occurring in the mediastinal cavity may cause compression symptoms including airway compression or cardiac tamponade. We present a 62-year-old male with a history of thymectomy for myasthenia gravis who presented with cardiac tamponade sev...
