Title: Application of modified hemostasis and drainage methods in radical masterectomy for breast cancer
Abstract: Objective To explore modified hemostasis and drainage methods in treating bleeding after radical masterectomy for breast cancer.Methods 96 patients underwent modified radical mastectomy(research group)were treated with absorbable gelatin sponge stuffed and bandaged in the axillary area and axillary perivascular joint as well as continuous suction drainage for postoperative hemostasis.The other 82 patients with the same surgery method (control group) were treated with conventional bandage and continuous negative pressure drainage.postoperative hemostatic effect were observed and compared between 2 groups.Results Drainage volume and postoperative extubation time within 2 h after operation in research group were significantly lower than those of the control group,and the incidence rate of subcutaneous fluid decreased significantly as well.Length of stay and wound healing time in research group were significantly shorter than the control groupConclusion Modified hemostasis and drainage methods can effectively improve effect of hemostasis after radical masterectomy for breast cancer.
