Abstract: Objective To compare the effect of postoperative single or twin-tube suction drainage after breast cancer surgery.Methods This study was a retrospective review of 148 patients undergoing surgical treatment using the silica gel pipe joint negative pressure ball drainage for breast cancer from February 2013 to December 2014.The twin-tube group was with 88 patients and single-tube group was with 60 patients,and the effect was compared between two groups.Results The incidence of seroma was 18.3％(11/60) and 15.9％(14/ 88) in single-tube group and twin-tube group.The seroma puncture frequency,total drainage volume were (7.48±2.85) times,(300.25±112.37) ml in single-tube group and (4.99±1.89) times,(500.73±96.68) ml in twintube group,and there were significant differences (t=6.097,8.321,P=0.013,0.046).There were no significant differences in drainage time,hospital stay and effusion quantity between two groups(t=1.239,2.018,2.098,P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions It suggests that single tube could be use postoperative drainage instead of two tubes.
