Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effect of surgical treatment of mammary duct fistula.Methods A total of 48 cases of mammary duct fistula were surgically treated,including 39 cases of fistulectomy and partial mastectomy,4 cases of total mastectomy,3 cases of subcutaneous mastectomy,and 2 cases of papillectomy.The incision was primarily sutured in 33 cases and kept open for drainage in 15 cases.Results A follow-up was carried out in the 48 cases for 3 months ~ 8 years(mean,3 years).Out of the 33 cases of primary closure of wound,5 cases developed a recurrence and then were cured by drainage and regular dressing change.The remaining 43 cases were cured on one session. Conclusions Fistulectomy is the basis of the treatment of mammary duct fistula.For a good cosmetic appearance and a short hospital stay,the operation should be performed with primary closure of wound,unless the recurrence is more likely to happen.
