Abstract

A retrospective longitudinal analytical study was performed in patients who received breast surgery during the months of January to September 2007 at Obstetrics and Gynaecology Services of Mostoles Hospital with the aim of assessing complications in breast surgery and its relation to the need for local drainage. No significant differences were found between the amount of complications after surgery and drainage type. However, a lower number of surgery complications were found in those patients who received a higher number of drainages. This indicates that even though a relation between the number and type of drainages versus breast surgery complications was not found, a trend toward less surgery complications was found in those patients with an increased amount of drainage.
