Mastectomy without drains: Flap adhesion and closure of dead space using TissuGlu® vs. Standard Wound Closure (SWC) – a parallel cohort comparison

Einleitung/Zielsetzung: Mastectomy(ME) remains associated with high rates of minor complications and occasional revision surgery for wound healing/seroma. Closed suction drain use is an effort to reduce seroma related complications but drain efficacy has been contested in multiple reports. Recent reports have shown that closure of dead space can be achieved through the use of a resorbable surgical adhesive allowing for the elimination of drain use. We present the results of our prospective observation of postoperative outcomes. Material & Methoden: A parallel cohort comparison was performed for non-inferiority o…
