3.	Seroma 01/01/2005 - "There was no significant difference in the incidence of seroma formation in the two groups and there was a significant reduction in the total hospital stay in patients with half vacuum suction drainage systems as compared to the full suction drainage group (p < 0.001) without any added morbidity. " 07/01/2001 - "Treatment options for postoperative seromas include observation for spontaneous resolution, percutaneous aspiration, closed suction drainage, abdominal binders, and sclerosant. " 09/01/2009 - "Subcutaneous seroma due to the leakage of joint fluid in two patients was managed by additional surgery and suction drainage, and resulted in a satisfactory outcome. " 12/01/2006 - "Low-pressure suction drainage reduces seroma volume and duration of drainage leading to earlier drain removal.

Pneumothorax 01/01/1985 - "One hundred and fourteen spontaneous pneumothorax, idiopathic or with chest disease, were retrospectively analysed in order to compare the efficacy of suction drainage by small lumen IV catheter and by chest tube. " 12/01/1991 - "It is also suggested that the treatment of pneumothorax with thoracentesis and/or suction drainage in young patients, or in the face of a large pneumothorax, requires careful consideration in view of a relatively high incidence of REPE in such individuals." 12/01/1991 - "Twenty-one of 146 cases of spontaneous pneumothorax that were treated by thoracentesis or continuous low negative pressure suction drainage (-12 cm H2O) of the pleural space developed REPE. " 01/01/1988 - "Thoracoscopy should be performed at the first recurrence of an idiopathic spontaneous pneumothorax, unless the lung does not expand during suction drainage or recollapses after expansion." 01/01/1982 - "Twenty-three patients with primary spontaneous pneumothorax and 30 patients with secondary spontaneous pneumothorax treated by intercostal catheter drainage with underwater seal were divided randomly into two groups, one receiving suction drainage (up to 20 cm H2O pressure) and the other no suction.
