Prevention of infectious complications in the immediate postoperative period in patients after radical mastectomy

One hundred and seven patients with breast cancer have been investigated. All patients were divided to two groups. The first group (fifty five patients) has the usual management before and after surgery. Fifty two patients of the second group after radical mastectomy received immunotropic therapy with Glutoxim by interospinous lymphotropic injections. The number of complications, laboratory investigations of lymph from skin flap has been observed. It was found that using the proposed method allows to minimize the duration and volume of lymph and to prevent long lymphorhea in postsurgical period. Normalization of leucocytes, lymphocytes and transaminase in lymph has been achieved. All of these have been allowed to continue the adjuvant chemotherapy in time.
