Official Title: A Collagen-Fibrin Patch (Tachosil®) for the Prevention of Symptomatic Lymphoceles After Pelvic Lymphadenectomy in Women With Gynecologic Malignancies: a Randomized Cl
Brief Summary: This is a randomized trial of 140 women with endometrial or cervical cancer undergoing removal of lymph tissue (lymphadenectomy). The application of 4 tachosil fibrin patches to the pelvic side wall after tissue removal is tested against no such intervention after tissue removal. The primary endpoint is to evaluate the incidence of symptomatic pelvic lymphoceles defined by CTCAE 4.03 grade >2 within 4 weeks after surgery in women undergoing open or laparoscopic pelvic lymphadenectomy for cervical and endometrial cancer with and without the application of Tachosil® during surgery. The study's hypothesis is that the application of tachosil fibrin patches will significantly reduce the rate of symptomatic lymph cysts.
