Axillary and inguinal lymph node dissections are commonly associated with complications that often require additional interventions. Patients who underwent axillary or inguinal lymphadenectomy via standard procedures were compared to an intervention cohort of patients who underwent axillary or inguinal lymphadenectomy with the use of topical tranexamic acid (TXA) to the wound cavity, a PICO (Smith&Nephew UK) closed-incision negative pressure dressing, and discharged early with a drain in-situ. Seventy-six patients in the control group (mean age 65.8 years, mean BMI 28.4 kg/m2) underwent open lymphadenectomy without topical TXA and a simple dressing. Seventy-eight patients were included in the intervention group (mean age 67.1 years, mean BMI 28.5 kg/m2). Patients in the intervention group had an inpatient stay of mean 5.6 days fewer than those in the control group (CI 3.09–5.31; p <.0001), an estimated saving to the healthcare trust of £ 3046.40 (US$3723.61) per patient in "bed days." They had longer drain duration (mean 15 days vs. 8.3 days); however, they had a statistically significant lower risk of seroma formation requiring drainage (6.4% vs. 21%; p =.009), and skin necrosis (0% vs. 6.6%; p =.027). They also had a lower risk of infection (17% vs. 29%), wound dehiscence (15% vs. 25%), and readmission (7.7% vs. 14%), although they were not statistically significant. Patients in the control group were more likely to receive antibiotics as inpatients (51% vs. 7.7%; p <.00001) and on discharge (24% vs. 5%; p <.0011) than those in the intervention group. Topical TXA, PICO dressing, and early discharge with a drain following lymphadenectomy results in a reduced rate of complications. [Display omitted] [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
