Summary
This study tested whether a surgical glue called Ifabond can reduce seroma—painful fluid collections—after breast cancer surgery. 104 women having partial mastectomy with or without lymph node removal were randomly assigned to receive standard surgery plus the glue or standard surgery alone. The main goal was to measure fluid volume and ultrasound findings at 15 and 30 days after surgery.

What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study with 104 patients. The glue may not significantly reduce seroma, and some people may be allergic to cyanoacrylate.
