breast drain removal
"Investigators remove the drains when the suction drain flow was less than 30 ml/day for at least 2 days or at discharge, with no further signs of infection, fluid collection or impaired wound healing (complicated, see below). Ultimately, we removed drains 3 weeks postoperatively (21 days post op) even if the flow was higher than 30 ml/day. However, leakage or severe patient discomfort led to immediate drain removal at any time during postoperative care."
