A Clinical Study on the Treatment for Subcutaneous Hydrops after Breast Cancer Surgery by Meglumine Diatrizoate

Objective To compare the treatment of meglumine diatrizoate combined with negative pressure drainage and compression bandaging only on subcutaneous hydrous after breast cancer surgery prospectively.Methods 49 patients undergoing breast cancer surgery in department of breast surgery of Jimo peoples′ hospital were separated into 2 groups:experimental group(n=25) and control group(n=24),patients in experimental group were treated with meglumine diatrizoate and negative pressure drainage and compression bandaging,the others were assigned to receive negative pressure drainage and compression bandaging only at the same time.To compare the cure rate,cure time infection and complication of lymph edema of upper limb between the two groups by measurement and observation.Results The cure rate of experimental group was higher than the control group(P0.05).The cure time of experimental group was less than the control group(P0.01).There was significant statistic difference between the two groups(P0.05).No patient was infected in experimental group,while the number was two in control group.Conclusion Negative pressure drainage and compression bandaging combined with meglumine diatrizoate to treat patients with subcutaneous hydrops after breast cancer surgery prospectively is superior to negative pressure drainage and compression bandaging only,in cure rate and time.
