Axillary lymphadenectomy in breast cancer continues to be a common practice in certain patients. The use of sealants and drains continues to be a source of disagreement among the scientific community. That is why the study was designed to show whether the sealant reduces seroma after axillary lymphadenectomy without drainage.
A study has been designed to assess whether the sealant reduces the rate of symptomatic seroma measured by the number of evacuating punctures. Likewise, the decrease in volume due to the seroma between the two groups and the quality of life of the patients is assessed, given that none of them has a drain
