Active Drainage vs. Passive Drainage in MRM

Brief summary (registry, in English)

The aim of the study is to compare between active drainage and passive drainage in post-operative seroma formation after modified radical mastectomy in female patient with breast carcinoma as regard of: Primary Outcomes: 1. Daily drain output (measured in mL/day). 2. Duration of the drain in place. 3. Amount of seroma aspiration after the drain removal. 4. Number of days till the last seroma aspiration. Secondary Outcomes: 1. Flap necrosis. 2. Surgical site infection. 100 female divided into two equal groups: * Group A: Active drainage group (50 patients). * Group B: Passive drainage group (50 patients). After MRM ,drain output was measured daily using a graduated jar by nurse during hospital stay which was a one to two days in an average and then by patient himself. All the data was recorded on a paper sheet. In passive drain, breast and axilla outcomes were combined together as one read to be equal to one active drain gar. Twice per week, I checked this reading by myself and reported any complications).
