title: [The use of fibrin glue in the surgery of breast carcinoma].
abstract: Twenty-four patients operated on for breast carcinoma with associated axillary node dissection were randomly assigned to two protocols. In the first group fibrin glue was applied intraoperatively, in the second group no complementary treatment was accomplished. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of fibrin glue in reducing postoperative axillary sero-lymphatic secretion. In the fibrin glue group a significant reduction of postoperative axillary secretion was observed.
