After breast cancer surgery, the body is relatively weak and daily care needs to be done. At this time, more care should be taken to prevent complications.
The following complications are common after breast cancer surgery:
(1) Subcutaneous effusion: mostly caused by cavities left behind by skin flap movement and poor drainage of subcutaneous exudate. It can be prevented by continuous negative pressure drainage of the wound and good fixation of the skin flap.
(2) Skin flap necrosis: It is the most common postoperative complication. In mild cases, the edge of the flap is necrotic, which generally does not affect wound healing due to its limited scope. If the scope of necrosis is large, the necrotic part should be cut off in time, the wound should be debrided and dressing changed, and the wound should be prepared before skin grafting to facilitate early skin grafting.
(3) Lymphedema of the affected upper limb: It is the most common postoperative complication. There are many reasons for swelling of the upper limbs, such as axillary effusion, cephalic vein ligation, extension of the incision to the upper arm, extensive axillary metastasis, delayed upper arm movement after surgery, etc. To prevent upper limb edema, it is best to eliminate the triggers. When edema has occurred, it is advisable to elevate the affected limb and wrap it with an elastic bandage to avoid overstrain and infection.
(4) Postoperative infection: Wound infection is an important cause of swelling of the upper limbs, and necrosis and infection at the edge of the flap can be seen; axillary effusion may also occur if the axillary effusion lasts for too long or the drainage is poor repeatedly. Infect. At this time, the local dressing should be actively and reasonably changed to eliminate factors that are not conducive to wound healing. At the same time, sufficient antibiotics should be given to control infection. You can also take d-blocking auxiliary therapy after surgery to improve the patient's body immunity, reduce the toxic and side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and prevent postoperative recurrence.
