NCT07512141
Normally, after this surgery, skin is stitched in the usual simple way, with no quilting, and two drains are put in to remove serosa, one under the arm and one on the chest. In this study, the investigator will use a different type of stitch called a quilting stitch, which helps stick the skin to the chest muscle so there is less serosa collection. The investigator will compare two groups: * Group A: Quilting stitches with two drains (one under the arm and one on the chest). * Group B: Quilting stitches with one drain only (under the arm).

The goal of this clinical trial was to compare two surgical techniques-ultrasonic dissector and electrocautery-for performing axillary dissection in women undergoing modified radical mastectomy (MRM) for breast cancer. The study aimed to determine whether using an ultrasonic dissector reduces operation time, the number of days surgical drains remain in place, and the frequency of seroma formation compared to conventional electrocautery. The main questions the study aims to answer are: 1. Does the ultrasonic dissector reduce the duration of surgery compared to electrocautery? 2. Do patients operated with an ultrasonic dissector require surgical drains for fewer days? 3. Is the frequency of postoperative seroma formation lower in the ultrasonic dissector group? Researchers randomly (1:1) assigned 138 women with breast cancer (aged 35-65 years) undergoing MRM to either the ultrasonic dissector group or the electrocautery group. All surgeries were performed by experienced consultant surgeons using standardized protocols. Participants: * Underwent MRM with either electrocautery or ultrasonic dissector for axillary dissection * Were discharged 24 hours after surgery with two drains in place * Measured and reported daily drain output at home * Returned for weekly follow-up for 30 days postoperatively Outcomes were measured by recording the operation time, the number of days drains remained in place, and the occurrence of seroma. The results would help guide surgical practice by identifying the safer and more efficient dissection method during MRM.
NCT05280353
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.
NCT06389331
The defect closure was found to have higher pain and less seroma formation at various intervals of time following TEP for moderate-large direct inguinal hernia. Although these findings were statistically insignificant, they may be clinically significant, and further studies with a larger sample size are suggested.
