Introduction: Seroma is a frequent complication that can affect the final result of reconstructive and cosmetic surgeries.
Methodology: This study evaluated the effectiveness of 5-Fluorouracil and 75% hypertonic glucose in preventing seroma in a mastectomy rat model, as well as cellular and vascular events in adjacent tissues. A left mastectomy with lymphadenectomy was performed in 60 Wistar-Albino female rats.
