Value of a Hemostatic and Sealing Agent for Preventing Seroma After Axillary Lymphadenectomy

This study was intended to assess the value of a hemostatic and sealing agent, a collagen sponge coated with human coagulation factors (fibrinogen and thrombin) (TachoSil®), for decreasing occurrence of seroma after axillary lymphadenectomy.
