ABSTRACT
Venous congestion is a frequent complication in flaps, since a venous obstruction favors the accumulation of blood within the tissue and an insufficient outflow. Early diagnosis is very important to intervene in advance with surgical and non-surgical techniques, with the perspective of oncological reconstructive plastic surgery, emphasizing on massage and its pathophysiological mechanism of action. We carried out a bibliographic search in PubMed, BIREME and Google Scholar, using the terms venous congestion, flap suffering, massage, breast neoplasms and mammoplasty, in English and Spanish. Review articles and research results from 1980 to 2021 were included. After reviewing and analyzing the information, we conclude that there are various methods for the evaluation of venous congestion that allow early treatment, highlighting massage as a cost-effective therapeutic measure with pathophysiological support, with the purpose of improving the venous congestion, avoiding flap suffering and improving patient outcomes.
