Brief Summary
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.
