Local Compression Seroma DIminution Objective (CLODIS) (CLODIS)

July 12, 2019 updated by: Centre Francois Baclesse

Interest of Local Compression by Thoracic Bandage on the Management of Seroma in Patients Treated by Mastectomy With or Without Lymphadenectomy. Local Compression Seroma DIminution Objective

This study evaluates the impact of local compression by chest bandage on the number of seroma punctures in patients treated by mastectomy with or without lymphadectomy. Half of the participants will have local compression by chest bandage in addition to seroma punctures while the other half will only have punctures.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

The most common complication induced by mastectomy is seroma formation. This seroma is a serolymphatic effusion that is created in the days following surgery. Iterative puncture is the only treatment for seroma mentioned in the literature. A retrospective study in the investigator's establishment on 1800 patients determined that a second puncture greater than 250ml is predictive of a chronicisation of punctures. The research hypothesis is that by applying local compression by chest bandaging with the Urgo® K2 kit, the "dead space" created by surgery would be removed. This would help resorb the seroma and reduce the number of punctures.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Compression by chest bandage urgo K2®

After the second puncture, the local compression by thoracic bandage will be put in place.

The system being effective 7 days, it will be left in place between each visit. A visit will be made for all patients 7 days after the installation of the device. However, if necessary, an intermediate visit may be carried out.

During these visits, a puncture will be made according to the criteria mentioned above. The bandage will be renewed after each visit.

The device will be removed after 15 days without indication of a new puncture. The patient will be seen again between 10 and 15 days after the bandage is removed for a final evaluation.

  1. - Installation of a short stretch belt (urgo K2® kit)
  2. - Installation of a long stretch cohesive band providing additional pressure necessary to reach therapeutic pressure and maintain the device (urgo K2® kit).
  3. - Control of the pressure exerted by the bandage by the "KIKUHIME® Sub Bandge pressure Monitor" device
Every 7 days after the second puncture of a volume > 250ml of seroma, the patients are examined by 2 practitioners. They define the indication of the puncture. The seroma is aspirated after a skin puncture with a needle connected with a Redon® drain.
Active Comparator: punctures

After the second puncture, the patient will be seen at the same frequency as in the experimental arm.

The decision to perform a puncture will be made according to the same criteria and the follow-up conditions will be identical.

Every 7 days after the second puncture of a volume > 250ml of seroma, the patients are examined by 2 practitioners. They define the indication of the puncture. The seroma is aspirated after a skin puncture with a needle connected with a Redon® drain.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of puncture(s) after inclusion in both patient groups
Time Frame: 180 days
In each group, we will count the number of punctures performed after the 2nd puncture with a volume > 250ml (inclusion).
180 days

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
The time required to take charge of adjuvant treatments
Time Frame: 180 days
Deferral of adjuvant therapy related to seroma: Treatment regimen and adjuvant appointments will be collected at inclusion. Each deviation will be analyzed and attributed or not to the presence or complications of seroma.
180 days
Volume punctured after inclusion in both patient groups.
Time Frame: 180 days
For each new puncture, the volume of serolymphatic fluid will be measured and the time between two punctures analyzed
180 days
comparison of the average change Quality of life scores between each arm
Time Frame: 180 days
Quality of life is assessed by the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) QLQ-C30, for the cancer in general and EORTC QLQ-BR23 specifically for the breast cancer (study inclusion and exit). The EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire, resulting in a score for the quality of life between 0 to 100.
180 days
comparison of the average change anxiety scores between each arm
Time Frame: 180 days
Anxiety / depressions are assessed by the Hospital Anxiety and Depression scale (study inclusion and exit)
180 days
comparison of the average change Pain scores between each arm
Time Frame: 180 days
  1. Numerical rating scale for pain (EN) The EN evaluates levels of pain intensity using an 10-point scale (range 0-10), with 0 being classified as "no sensation", 3 "pain threshold", 10 "pain as bad as could be.(at each visit),
  2. Neuropathic Pain (DN4) (inclusion and study exit)
180 days
The aesthetic impact on the puncture site.
Time Frame: 180 days
The evaluation of the aesthetic impact on the puncture zone will be carried out by comparing the photographs taken at the inclusion, during the visit to the consultation at 10-15 days after the last puncture (for the standard arm) and at 10-15 days after the removal of the bandage device and finally during the consultation with the oncologist.
180 days
Validation of a score allowing the description of the seroma of grades 2 and the indication of a puncture
Time Frame: 180 days
Based on the observation grids carried out by the 2 professionals during a separate evaluation, we compare the 4 items defined to the indication chosen for the puncture as well as the volume of puncture when it is carried out.
180 days
