Introduction: Seroma is the most common early complication following surgical breast cancer treatment. Its development is associated with pain, scar complications, adjuvant therapy delays, the need for outpatient visits, and increased care costs.
Objective: Assess seroma incidence and risk factors in women undergoing mastectomies.
Objective: Evaluate patient adherence and satisfaction concerning postmastectomy compressive taping.
Methods: This comprises a preintervention and postintervention study carried out with women ≥18 years old who underwent taping during the first 7 postoperative days at the Cancer Hospital III/National Cancer Institute. Good adherence was considered as taping maintenance for 7 days.
