About

A retrospective review of patients who developed hematoma following breast surgery from 2003 to 2018 in a single institution was performed. The study investigated the value of closed-suction drains regarding the quantity and quality of fluid secretion for the prediction of subcutaneous hematoma in patients undergoing breast surgery procedures.
