Abstract
Seroma is one of most common morbidity occurring after modified radical mastectomy that cause much nuisance for both patients and surgeons and may delay post-operative initiation of adjuvant therapy. With unclear pathogenesis, many methods were suggested to decrease its incidence and amount. Fibrin glue was one of these modalities with a conflicting result. Present study supports the use of human extracted fibrin glue in a suitable concentration in this aspect. The use of fibrin glue showed a significant reduction of the total volume of aspirated seroma. Therefore, it had also a significant decrease in hospital stay time and time passes till the drains removed and this led to decrease in the bill compensating to what extent its relatively high cost. This study also showed breast size, tumor size and number of dissected lymph nodes as risk factors for seroma formation that increases with their increase.
