Abstract :

BACKGROUND: In India, Incidence of east carcinoma is 9–32/1lakh women. After modified radical mastectomy, postoperative fluid collection in drain is affected by various factors– the most important one being the amount of suction pressure applied to the drain. OBJECTIVES: –To study and compare the amount of fluid collected in drain, and time of drain removal between full and partial vaccum suction drain groups after MRM –To compare the postoperative morbidity between the two groups. METHODS: 50 cases of east carcinoma who underwent mrm in kgh, visakhapatnam from july 2018 to july 2019 are studied in this prospective randomised study. Patients were categorised into group a( full vaccum suction) and group b (partial vaccum suction) with 25 patients in each group. Their outcomes are compared in terms of amount of fluid collected in drain, time of drain removal, length of hospital stay and postoperative complications. RESULTS : The mean amount of fluid collected in drain is comparatively less and time for drain removal is comparatively early in partial vaccum suction group (group B) than full suction group (group A) Postoperative complications are increased in Group A than Group . Length of hospital stay is increased in group A. – Delayed complications during followup are noted in group A. CONCLUSION:This study concludes that partial vaccum suction drain is better than full vaccum suction by decreasing the amount of drain output, early drain removal, shortened hospital stay and decreased postoperative complications.
