*3.3.7 Post-operative management*

To allow drainage over the course of 24 hours, a Penrose or a tube drain can be placed into one of the dependent openings. Other incisions were closed loosely with a single suture and foam sponges were used to provide compression as well as absorb the drainage. Patients were advised to wear a compression garment around the affected region for at least four weeks before returning to normal activities.
