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.
