Abstract
Breast cancer is the most common neoplastic disease in women Worldwide. Mastectomy is one of the procedures which is widely used as a treatment for breast cancer and is cancer often conducted alongside a sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) or an axillary node clearance (ANC). Seroma formation is the most common postoperative complication, with an incidence ranging from 15% to 80%. Fibrin Glue is one of the approaches that used for preventing seroma formation after modified radical mastectomy. The aim of the work was to evaluate the effectiveness of the Fibrin Glue in reducing the postoperative seroma after modified radical mastectomy in patients with breast cancer. This study was carried out on 30 female patients with breast cancer at the Surgical Oncology Unit, General Surgery Department, Tanta University Hospitals during the period from February 2021 to February 2022. Patients were randomly divided into two groups: group (A) (Fibrin Glue group) that included 15 patients and group (B) (the control group) that included 15 patients. Every patient was subjected to full history taking, thorough clinical examination, necessary laboratory, radiological, histopathological examination and metastatic work-up. The patients were followed up by recording the volume drained every 24-h. The drain was removed when the amount collected per 24-hour 30 cc or less.
