Is There a Role for Fibrin Glue (Sealant) in Seroma Reduction After Inguinal Lymphadenectomy?
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Application of fibrin glue sealant for Seroma. Completed, enrolled 32 participants.
Detailed Summary
Seroma is one of the most common encountered morbidities after inguinal lymph node dissection (ILND). It can cause not only much nuisance to both patients and doctors but also its presence can lead to many complications. This study aimed at evaluation of the role and effect of using fibrin glue on seroma reduction in patients undergoing ILND. Thirty-two patient have undergone ILND for various causes. The patients were randomized into two groups; 16 ILND in each. In one group, fibrin glue sealant was applied with a dose of 2ml per 100 cm2 surface area then drain placement was performed. Whereas, in the control group, only drain placement was used. Preoperative, operative and postoperative data were recorded and analyzed.
