Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the efficacy of lauromacrogol injection for the treatment of post-operative breast cancer lym-phatic fistula. Methods:A mixture of lauromacrogol and air from the drainage tube was injected to the treatment group. The site of the residual cavity was bound with appropriate pressure for 24 h. The control group was treated with traditional methods. Results:The lym-phatic fistula of the treatment group disappeared after the mixture of lauromacrogol and air was injected to the patients. All of the 12 cases were subjected to a follow-up session. No recurrence of lymphatic fistula was observed. The differences between the treatment group and the control group were significant. Conclusion:The results revealed the efficacy of lauromacrogol injection for the treatment of post-operative breast cancer lymphatic fistula. Hence, this method could be applied for the preliminary treatment of lymphatic fistula.
