Patients and method: Inframammary major duct excision was performed on forty five non-lactating female patients suffering from nipple discharge that was either unilateral or bilateral. Results: The postoperative hospital stay was one day. Suction drain was removed after 4 to 10 days of surgery (mean time 6 days). No seroma or hematomas were observed after removal of the drain.
