Uitkomstmaten
Primaire uitkomstmaten
The primary study parameter is the percentage of removed tissue expanders due to infection.
Achtergrond van het onderzoek
This study is a randomised control trial to assess if patients can be discharged homewards with a surgical drain in situ, after reconstruction with a tissue-expander post-mastectomy, without an increase in removal of tissue expanders due to infection.
There will be two groups. One will receive care as usual and will be discharged after removal of the drain (on the 7th post-operative day at the latest)
The other group will be discharged on the 3th post-operative day with drains in situ after receiving instructions on drain-care.
The percentages of removal of tissue-expanders due to infection and antibiotics usage due to infection will be registered and compared.
Doel van het onderzoek
Patients can be discharged, after a post-mastectomy reconstruction with a tissue expander, with a surgical drain in situ without an increase in the removal of tissue expanders due to infection.
Onderzoeksopzet
Outcome: percentage of patients in which the tissue expander had to be removed due to infection, timepoint: within 21 days after the surgery.
Outcome: percentage of patients receiving AB due to infection, timepoint: within 21 days after the surgery.
