The use of sclerotherapy for treatment of postmastectomy wound seromas

J V Sitzmann et al. Surgery. 1983 Feb.

Abstract

Five patients who developed seromas following mastectomy with lymph node dissection were treated with aspiration of the seromas and instillation of a sclerosant solution containing tetracycline. All seromas resolved promptly without infection, flap necrosis, or recurrence. The technique is recommended for treatment of this postoperative complication.
