【 摘 要 】

After lymphadenectomy for early breast cancer, seroma formation is a constant event requiring a suction drainage. This drainage is the strongest obstacle to reducing the hospital stay. Axillary padding without drainage appears to be a valuable option amid the various solutions for reducing the hospital stay.
