About this study

Official title: Does PREVENA Vacuum-assisted Closure Reduce Lymphorrhoea Compared to Conventional Wound Closure After Axillary and Inguinal Lymph Node Dissection in the Management of Metastatic Cutaneous Skin Tumors ?

In this study, we compared a negative pressure wound therapy, versus a conventional dressing in order to evaluate the most efficient wound therapy closure after axillary and inguinal lymph nodes dissections in the management of metastatic skin tumors. A vacuum assisted closure therapy should prevent these comorbidities.

Read the detailed description

Lymphorrhoea, lymphedema and lymphocyte are significant and common complications after axillary and inguinal lymph nodes dissections. A vacuum assisted closure therapy should prevent these comorbidities. In this study, we compared PREVENA, a negative pressure wound therapy, versus conventional dressings. We evaluated the wound complications at the seventh day, the thirtieth day and at this end of the first year after surgery. It is a retrospective study of about ninety lymph nodes dissections among with there were seventy times the use of a negative pressure wound therapy, PREVENA.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Is there a visible scar disunion ?

    Yes if there is a scar opening, no if there isn't

    Measured: between day 1 and day 7, between day 7 and day 30, between day 30 and first year end

  2. Is there lymphorrhoea from the scar ?

    Yes if there is lymph coming from the the scar, no if there isn't.

    Measured: between day 1 and day 7, between day 7 and day 30, between day 30 and first year end

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Are there lymphocele punctures ?

    Yes if there is any lymphocele puncture, no if there isn't

    Measured: between day 1 and day 7, between day 7 and day 30, between day 30 and first year end

  2. Is there any lymphoedema ?

    Yes if there is arm or leg lymphoedema, no if there isn't

    Measured: between day 1 and day 7, between day 7 and day 30, between day 30 and first year end
