Abstract
Breast cancer patients undergoing mastectomy with reconstruction (TM+R) often experience post-operative discomfort from surgical drains. Despite a variety of garment options for use in the post-operative period, high quality data assessing the impact of specific garments on post-operative pain are lacking. We report results of a prospective randomized trial assessing the impact of the Jacki Jacket (JJ), a long-sleeve jacket with inner drain receptacle pockets, on post-discharge pain and quality of life (QOL) after TM+R.
