Abstract
Introduction: Drain-free mastectomy is associated with reduced hospital stays and improved patient comfort. Recent NHS guidance encourages a shift towards mastectomy as Day Case surgery, with use of drains being the exception rather than the rule. Closure without drains or flap fixation is associated with increased postoperative seroma and clinical visits. Flap fixation with a high-strength adhesive may facilitate drain-free mastectomy with no increase in complications.
