NCT01742975

Brief Summary

A randomized prospective simple-blind interventional study evaluating the efficacy of the synthetic adhesive solution "Ifabond", in patients undergoing breast cancer surgery. The main objective of this study is to determine if the application of Ifabond, in addition to the conventional method of breast surgery, reduces the postoperative seroma formation. The secondary objective is to assess quality of life immediately after surgery, and the need for needle aspiration of the axilla, when using Ifabond.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Change in seroma formation

    The volume of drain at Day 3 (or 7 in case of axillary lymph node dissection) post surgery will be documented, then patients will have an ultrasound exam at day 15 and day 30 (+or- 2 days) to measure seroma.

    Day 3 (or 7 in case of axillary lymph node dissection), day15 and day 30 post surgery

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Change in discomfort alleged by the patient

    day 3 (or 7), day 15 and day 30

Other Outcomes (1)

  • Change in the number of needle aspiration required

    day 15 and day 30

Study Arms (2)

Arm A: Applying Ifabond

EXPERIMENTAL

The synthetic adhesive solution Ifabond, will be applied at the end of conventional breast cancer surgery for arm A patients.

Device: IFABOND (TM)

Arm B: without Ifabond

NO INTERVENTION

The synthetic adhesive solution Ifabond, will not be applied at the end of conventional breast cancer surgery in arm B patients.
