Hemopatch Versus Axillary Drainage After Axillary Lymphadenectomy: Randomized, Controlled, Multicenter Clinical Study
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating hemopatch and Aspirative drainage for Breast Cancer and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 228 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Aspirative drainage continues to be the "gold standard" for the management of this post-surgical complication, even though it can lead to complications such as obstruction of the drainage, peritubal leakage of the seroma, etc. This may result in pain and reduction in mobility of the affected arm. Based on our positive clinical outcomes and the fact that there is not any published data available in the literature regarding this use of the patch, the investigators propose a multicentric, randomized controlled clinical trial, with the objective of comparing the Hemopatch® with the usual technique used (aspirative drainage) in terms of efficacy and safety. Hypothesis: Placing a Hemopatch ® instead of an aspirative drainage in women after undergoing axillary lymph node dissection during breast cancer surgery may reduce the appearance of seroma and consequently the need for a puncture, as well as the complications related to aspirative drainage.

The patient will be randomized after performing the lymphadenectomy, according to a table of random numbers performed in excel kuytools, then a compression bandage will be performed on all the patients and it will be controlled 24 hours postoperatively, the subsequent control will be weekly until the drain is removed. and / or the disappearance of the seroma
