Hi!! Need additional information on milk fistulas.  Are there any
articles on frequency of milk fistula following a breast biopsy that I can give
the breast surgeon? I spoke to the surgeon's nurse.  She stated that the
doctor was sued from a woman getting a milk fistula following a biopsy then the
fistula became infected.  She sued because she stated that she was not told
of the complication, so the surgeon is concerned about the milk fistula
occurring if mom does not wean from that breast.

I stated that I would try to find information that may be beneficial so the
mother does not have to wean.

I am nomail, so I would appreciate it if you could email your replies as
well as write to the list.
