Abstract
No evidence of a positive effect of TachoSil application on seroma formation after ILND was seen in the present study, and 10 of the 11 patients developed a surgical site infection. ILND remains a surgical procedure with a high incidence of postoperative complications, including seroma. New morbidity-reducing strategies are eagerly awaited, because the TachoSil patches do not seem to have a role in the management of seroma prevention after ILND.
