Yes, a drainage tube is commonly placed in the axilla after axillary dissection to prevent the accumulation of fluid in the surgical area and promote healing. The tube helps drain excess fluid from the wound, reducing the risk of complications such as seroma formation.
dissection of tissue or cells under the microscope.
Axillary buds are located at the junction of the stem and leaf. They have the potential to develop into new shoots, leaves, or flowers, depending on the plant species.
That partition is called as diaphragm. You need to see the same in dissection hall on the cadaver. Alternately, you can see the same on U Tube or anatomy atlas.
A drying tube or guard tube is a tube-like piece of apparatus housing a disposable solid dessicant, at one end the tube-like structure terminates in ground glass to connect the drying tube to a reaction vessel, to keep the reaction vessel free of moisture. (Moisture which may adversely effect the reaction)
The correct spelling is "dissection" (cutting open, literally into two parts).
Axillary dissection is utilized to stage breast cancer in order to determine the necessity of further treatment based on cancer cell spread. Additionally, axillary dissection includes removal and pathological examination of axillary lymph nodes.
Further study is required but other therapies are currently not recommended. There are no adequate alternatives to axillary surgery in breast cancer persons.
Axillary dissection is a surgical procedure that incises (opens) the armpit (axilla or axillary) to identify, examine, or remove lymph nodes (small glands, part of the lymphatic system, which filters cellular fluids).
A modified radical is a total mastectomy with axillary lymph node dissection, but with preservation of the pectoral muscles.
Chest tubes are commonly connected to a drainage collection device. This device uses a water seal to maintain the chest tube. The drainage collects in a chamber and is measured in milliliters.
yes
A closed chest tube drainage system typically consists of three main components: a chest tube, a drainage chamber, and a suction control chamber. The chest tube is inserted into the pleural space to remove air, fluid, or blood. The drainage chamber collects the fluid, while the suction control chamber regulates the negative pressure to enhance drainage. This system is designed to prevent air from re-entering the pleural space, ensuring effective treatment and monitoring of the patient's condition.
Nasogastric tube drainage refers to the process of using a tube inserted through the nose, down the esophagus, and into the stomach to remove gastric contents. This type of drainage is typically used for decompression of the stomach, removal of gastric secretions, or in preparation for surgery. It can also be employed for feeding patients who are unable to swallow. The drainage can be either continuous or intermittent, depending on the clinical need.

If you are talking about axillary node dissection for breast cancer where there is lymph node involvement, I am told it is permanent although I would really like to hear otherwise from someone who has undergone this surgery. I had an axillary node dissection 3.5 weeks ago and my armpit and the back of my upper arm/shoulder is still numb. No one told me about this before the surgery so I was not prepared for this to happen. I would not have had any choice and still would have had to have the surgery but I wish someone would have mentioned this to prepare me. I also have pain in the back of my upper arm, feels like a very bad sunburn, also very bothersome. I will pray every day for the sensitivity to return, but the surgery was necessary to remove life threatening cancer from my body. If anyone has had an axillary node dissection and regained the feeling in their armpit, I would love to hear about it, would give me hope.
I had a breast reduction yesterday and one of my drainage tubes came out. Is this an emergency? I have nurses coming this morning.
No
