ABSTRACT

PURPOSE:

Latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap (LDMCF) is a commonly used technique for breast reconstruction following breast-conserving surgery. However, this technique has a high incidence of donor site seroma. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of donor-site quilting on seroma formation.

METHODS:

A retrospective review of 95 patients who underwent immediate breast reconstruction with LDMCF from May of 2006 through February of 2007 was performed. Patients were divided into Group A, in which only a closed suction drain was used, and Group B, in which quilting and a closed suction drain were used. The outcome measures were age, body mass index (BMI), mastectomy volume, duration of drain, total volume of postoperative seroma, length of hospital stay, and incidence of postoperative aspiration.

RESULTS:

In Group B, the total amount of seroma, duration of drain, and length of hospital stay were significantly reduced (P<0.05). However, the incidence of postoperative aspiration was not different between Group A and Group B (P=0.06).

CONCLUSION:

The quilting technique reduces the volume of postoperative seroma and may help prevent of seroma after LDMCF.
