Background:

About 13 lakh new cases of breast cancer were diagnosed in 2008 and the statistical trajectory is following an upward curve. It is one of the most common cancers that are encountered especially in middle aged women and accounts approximately twenty five percent of all cancers. There is no geographical barrier and all races have been affected. African population was seen to have less number of incidences when compared to the European Population. Survival rate is more in European population than the developing countries. This may be due to better tertiary care. Developing countries like ours is the most affected because the death and morbidity is due to complications that are faced by the population which has undergone surgery. This study puts in an effort to study the Post – operative complications after breast surgery.
