Fn. Gilly et al., EFFICACY OF FIBRIN GLUE ON LYMPHOSTASIS D URING LYMPH-NODE DISSECTION- PROSPECTIVE RANDOMIZED STUDY IN 40 PATIENTS, Annales de chirurgie, 48(2), 1994, pp. 194-196
To evaluate the efficacy of fibrin glue for lymphostasis during axilla
ry and inguinal lymph node removal, we conducted a prospective randomi

y rates were not different throughout the 2 groups. However they were
significant decreasement in drainage duration, in drainage quantity an
d in hospital duration in the group ''with'' fibrin when compared with
the group ''without''.
