Objective: To determine the frequency of seroma formation after flap fixation by quilting technique in MRM patients as compared to control group. Study Design: Randomized controlled trial. Place and Duration of study: This study was conducted from 11th November ,2017 to 10th May , 2018 in Department of Surgery, Holy family Hospital, Rawalpindi. Patients and Method: A total of 60 patients were included in the study having histologically proven breast cancer stage 2 or 3 in age group of 40-70 years undergoing modified radical mastectomy. Patients were allocated to group1 or 2 by random selection. In group I patients, flap fixation was done by quilting technique during MRM . In group II , no quilting was done. Post operative follow up was done after 05 days in OPD and development of seroma was observed clinically. Results: Mean age of patients was 55.23 ± 7.94 years. Mean BMI was 30.05 ± 2.63 kg/m2. Seroma formation was seen in 04 patients (13.33%) in group I (flap fixation by quilting technique ) and 19 patients (63.33%) in group II (control group) with p-value of 0.0001. Conclusion: This study concluded that there is significantly low incidence of post mastectomy seroma formation in MRM patients with quilting technique as compared to the conventional method of wound closure in MRM
