After arthroscopic surgery in shoulders we have much discharge in the gauze and often need to change it. In April 2007, we started a trial of milking shoulders to get perfusate out before closure of the wound. To judge the effects, we checked the surface of gauze the next morning. 196 patients (male; 114 cases, female; 82 cases) were underwent arthroscopic surgery on rotator cuff tears from January 2004 to May 2009 in our hospital. Average age at surgery was 63.9 years old. We compare the group of milking cases (98 cases after April 2007) to the non-milking cases (98 cases until May 2007). We found discharge over the gauze by the next morning in 12 cases (12.2%) of milking group and 25 cases (25.5%) of non-milking group. Our trial of milking a shoulder before closure of the wound is effective on the reduction of the postoperative discharge.
